Generate your Resume with GitHub Actions

My Workflow

I made a workflow that generates my resume from a jsonresume file. I update the resume.json file and the workflow will generate an html and pdf version of my resume. It also deploys the new version of my resume to my personal site.

Submission Category:

This workflow will keep your resume up to date anywhere you need it. It's definitely a DIY Deployment.
