A Jekyll Template for the Pillar Bootstrap 4 Theme by xriley

The Pillar Resume Template as a Jekyll site

This is a modification to the Pillar Bootstrap 4 Theme. It has been converted to use the Jekyll static site builder. This allows you to host your Résumé on Github.com or other static hosting services.

Located in the _data directory is a yml file that is broken into sections.

bio
- Top section with your contact information
summary
- A full-column section to decribe yourself
history
- Your work history
skills
- The different skills, languages, and technolody you use
- Broken down into Frontend, Backend, and Other
  - If you exclude any of these sections, the heading will not be displayed
education
- Where you went to college, if you did
awards
- Any rewards you received for your work
languages
- The languages you speak or write
interests
- Things that interest you
organizations
- Different organizations you are in volved with
- Could be volunteer or professional groups

The nice thing about this theme is that is looks pretty good printed right out of the boxes. However, you might be tempted to add a lot of detail on your work history since you have infinite vertical scrolling. To combat the printer fatigue, you can use pure HTML in your descriptions and use Bootstrap 4's media queries to exclude some content when your resume is printed.

You can see some example of this in the data for my Resume. I include sections of HTML with the tag:

<div class="d-print-none" markdown="1">
    .
    .
    .
</div>

These sections are then excluded when my Resume is printed. You can also force a page break for printing if you want to ensure a new history section starts on a new page when printed. This can be done by including page_break: true as one of the properies for your role

Theme Color

To set the theme primary color you can set inside the _config.yml file the variable theme_color. It can be one of the following values:

cello
curious_blue
eucalyptus
scooter
governor_bay
cosmi

This uses YAML anchors, so ensure you include the * infront of the variable name.

Modification from Original Theme

To support better printing, @media queries have been added to the Pillar theme to remove the box-shadow from the resume-wrapper-inner class and set the background of the boyd to white.

Favicon Generator

I really like this website for helping to generate favicons:

https://realfavicongenerator.net

Dump the contents in the root of this template for them to automatically be used.

The device specific icons that use color, will use the primary color you select for your theme.

The rest of this readme comes from the author of the bootstrap theme with a few modification to make it make sense with the changes made for Jekyll
