Vitae

Vitae is to CVs what rubygems is to ruby code.

It’s also very under development right now, and not very useful yet. Come back soon!

Usage

First install the vitae gem:

$: sudo gem i vitae

Now lets create a new project called my_cv_project, with some named CVs:

$: vitae create my_cv_project arthur_gunn sajal_shah  
  creating my_cv_project...
        create  cvs/arthur_gunn.yaml
        create  cvs/sajal_shah.yaml
        create  themes/default/application.js
        create  themes/default/application.css

Great, it’s created our two named CVs in the my_cv_project/cvs directory from a basic yaml template. Edit these yaml files with your own info (note: currently data is not actually read from these, that will change soon).

Once your done editing, start up the server:

$: vitae server my_cv_project
  Serving 2 CVs at http://0.0.0.0:3141/ from my_cv_project

Enjoy!

Future plans

1. All data read from the yaml files should be displayed sensibly.

2. Vitae should com bundled with better default templates - CSS, JS and YAML.

3. Support for multiple themes.

4. The clever stuff

Much like rubygems or git
