[Here is a blog post](https://mertbakir.gitlab.io/projects/resume-a4/) about this project.

# How To Use

## Download

1. Create a hugo project.
2. Go to themes folder.
3. Clone this theme.

```
cd themes
git clone https://gitlab.com/mertbakir/resume-a4.git
```

or add as a submodule

```
git submodule add https://gitlab.com/mertbakir/resume-a4.git themes/resume-a4
```

## Start

1. Copy `config.yaml` from `exampleSite` to the root directory of your hugo project.
2. Open `config.yaml` and add your relevant information.
3. Copy `data` folder from `exampleSite` to the root directory of your hugo project. All you need is that folder.
4. Create your resume in yaml files.

## Config File

* You can add/remove sections.
* Add multiple pages as many as you like. (_still, let's not forget the aim here. a resume should be precise. I don't think a recruiter will scroll down on it._)
* Order of the "features" are important in the config file. 

### Custom CSS

Copy the ```\assets``` folder under the ```exampleSite``` directory if you like to make simple modifications.
### Avatar

Set avatar link in `config.yaml`, you may keep the image under `static` folder. You can set it as ```false``` if you don't want to add a picture.

### Publications

You can change `style` of the `publications` feature in the config file. There are options for APA and IEEE standards. Report me on gitlab or send a merge requests if standarts are erroneous. I'm no expert on citation standarts.

## Print | Save As PDF

There is a snippet in the ```exampleSite\assets\custom.scss``` file for printing the href attribute. It's not included as default. Because "save as pdf" is way more common usage than a hard copy. Also, I wouldn't prefer printing a long url on a hard copy.

If you don't like the result of "save as pdf" in Mozilla Firefox, try Chrome or a Chromium-based browser. Probably, because Firefox doesn't support [this](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%40page/size).
