Personal resume powered by Jekyll

Overview:

Vitae is a personal homepage theme based on João’s curriculum vitae or resume. It is built with skeleton and powered by Jekyll. The theme is freely hosted on GitHub Pages.

Features:

  • Skeleton-based theme for personal homepage
  • Powered by Jekyll
  • Freely hosted on GitHub Pages

Installation:

To install Vitae, you have a few options:

  1. Build the site with GitHub Actions, which will push the resulting files to the gh-pages branch. More details can be found in the jekyll_build.yml file.
  2. Generate the site locally and push the resulting HTML to a GitHub repository. GitHub Pages will then host the site.
  3. Build the site with Travis-CI, using the jekyll-travis tool to automatically push the generated HTML files to a gh-pages branch.
  4. Deploy the static website with Jekyll-compatible hosters like Netlify, which allows for deployment directly from the GitHub repo and uses CDNs for publishing.

Option 2:

  1. Clone this repository (master branch).
  2. Run bundle exec jekyll serve inside the directory.
  3. Upload the resulting _site/ (or ../vitae-pages/) contents to your repository’s master branch if uploading as your personal page (e.g., username.github.io), or to the gh-pages branch if uploading as a project page (as shown in the demo).

Option 3:

  1. Set up Travis-CI for your personal fork.
  2. Update your details in _config.yml to enable pushing to your GitHub repo.
  3. Generate a secure key to add to your .travis.yml file. Detailed instructions can be found in that file.
  4. Read the documentation from jekyll-travis for more information.

Summary:

Vitae is a personal homepage theme built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. It offers a clean and customizable design for showcasing a curriculum vitae or resume. The theme can be easily installed using GitHub Actions, Travis-CI, or manually deploying the static website to a Jekyll-compatible host. Vitae is released under the MIT License and is actively maintained by João.
