Getting Started
Command Line Tool
We've built a CLI (Command Line Interface) which is supported by OSX, Linux and Windows. To create your own resume, installresume-cli
from npm:
npm install -g resume-cli
Note: The official CLI tool isn't that actively maintained. There is an alternative that you might have more success with @rbardini/resumed
Exporting
The command line tool uses an ecosystem of modules that we've open sourced to convert your resume to different formats:
resume export resume.pdf
resume export resume.html
Import from LinkedIn
One of our community members wrote a great Chrome extension to import your LinkedIn Profile.

Hosting
JSON Resume offers a hosting service that renders yourresume.json
to any theme you would like.
e.g. https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis
All you have to do is create a Gist on GitHub namedresume.json
.
e.g. https://gist.github.com/thomasdavis/c9dcfa1b37dec07fb2ee7f36d7278105
Our hosting service will automatically detect this when you accesshttps://registry.jsonresume.org/your_github_username
To set a theme, just add to your resume.json
;{ "meta": { "theme": "elegant" } }
Use your own repository (instead of a gist)
Basically, you can just make a Github Action, that publishes your gist when you push to your own repo. Example below;
EXAMPLE - https://github.com/thomasdavis/resume
Raw Formats
You can access more raw formats of your resume too!
JSON - https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.json
YAML - https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.yaml
TEXT - https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.txt
QR Service
If you want to generate a QR code that links to your hosted resume, use https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.qr
