jekyll-bootstrap-resume-theme

This is a resume theme based on Start Bootstrap Resume.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-bootstrap-resume-theme"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jekyll-bootstrap-resume-theme

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-bootstrap-resume-theme

Usage

Change Basic information

in _config.yml you can change basic information such as your website name and description.

Change Profile Picture

Change your profile picture (the one that is visible on the side menu) by replacing the image present in assets/img/profile.jpg with your own picture. Make sure it is in jpg format and has the name profile.

Changing Profile information

Change your name, email, address, phonenumber, by going to _config.yml and giving new values to each item under portfolio.info.

This should look something like:

portfolio:
  info:
    name:
      firstname: John
      lastname: Doe
    location: 3542 Berry Street · Cheyenne Wells, CO 80810
    phonenumber: (317) 585-8468
    email: [email protected]

Changing Social Media

At the moment 5 icons are supported: LinkedIn, Github, Facebook, Twitter and Custom Site.

These can be enabled/disabled and links can be changed by uncommenting and changing the text in _config.yml under portfolio.social. So let's say you want to only have linkedIn and github enabled then you'd have something like this:

portfolio:
  social:
    # twitter: your-username
    # facebook: your-username
    github: your-username
    linkedin: your-username
    # rss: 'your-website'

Where your-username and your-website would be either your username or your website url. If a # is present before the item, then the item is commented, and won't be displayed on the website.

Changing About information

Change the introduction text in the About section by going to index.md and changing the text with whatever text you want to have.

Important: DO NOT REMOVE THE BELOW TEXT FROM THE index.md file.

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, _sass and assets tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in jekyll-bootstrap-resume-theme.gemspec accordingly.

License

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
