# Resume
This repository generates a PDF of my resume using

[LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/). I used [flyx's
article](https://flyx.org/nix-flakes-latex/) to help me create a nix flake to
build a resume generator command (I update my resume infrequently and it's
always a hassle getting my environment set up).

## Why?
This is nice for me to make sure I have the right environment to work on my
resume. It's not very practical, I admit, to have people run a `nix run`
command to generate the latest version of my resume (but it's kinda cool if
you're into reproducibility and stuff). At some point I should have the latest
version served somewhere on my site.
tl;dr I just wanted an excuse to use nix.

## Usage
Use the flake!
```bash
nix run github:alejandro-angulo/resume -- -h
Usage: alejandro-resume [-h] [-d] [-e EMAIL] [-p PHONENUMBER]
-h Prints this usage message.
-d Saves latexmk log file (will be named alejandro_resume.log)
-e EMAIL Sets email address used when building document.
Can also be set with EMAIL environment variable.
-p PHONENUMBER Sets phone number used when building the document.
Can also be set with PHONENUMBER environment variable.
nix run github:alejandro-angulo/resume -- -e 'foo@bar.com' -p '(555) 555-5555'

```
The email and phone number parameters are required because I didn't want to

hardcode those in my tex file. Hopefully this helps prevent spammers from
finding my personal contact information.
