CV Generator
Generate a polished PDF CV from a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter.
The CV data (work experience, education, skills, etc.) is defined as structured YAML frontmatter, while the cover letter is written as regular Markdown below it. The tool renders everything into a styled PDF using Jinja2 templates and WeasyPrint.
Example
The example/ directory contains a sample CV for Albert Einstein, applying to the Swiss Patent Office in 1902.
| Cover Letter | CV |
|---|---|

Usage
uv run cv path/to/your_cv.md
To specify a custom output path:
uv run cv path/to/your_cv.md -o output.pdf
Markdown File Format
The input file uses YAML frontmatter for structured data and Markdown for the cover letter body. See example/alberteinstein.md for a complete example.
Photo and signature paths are resolved relative to the Markdown file's location.
