Typst CV Template

A no-frills curriculum vitae (CV) template for Typst that uses a YAML file for data input in order to version control CV data easily.

This is based on the popular template on Reddit by u/SheetsGiggles and the recommendations of the r/EngineeringResumes wiki.

Demo

See example CV and @guchii's CV:

Usage

cv.typ is intended to be used by importing cv.typ file from a "content" file (example.typ as example). This content file is used to call the functions which apply document style & show CV components and load CV data from a YAML file (example.yml as example). Inside the content file you can modify several style variables and even override existing function implementations to your heart's content.

With Typst CLI (Recommended)

The recommended usage with Typst CLI is by adding this cv.typ repository as a git submodule. This way, upstream changes can be pulled easily.

<your-cv-repo>/
├── cv.typ/ // git submodule
|   └── cv.typ
├── <your-cv-content>.typ // #import "cv.typ/cv.typ": *
└── <your-cv-data>.yml

1. Add guchii/cv.typ as git submodule. into your CV's repo.

git submodule add https://github.com/guchii/cv.typ

2. Copy and rename example.typ and example.yml to your CV's repo root directory. Use these files as template/starting point for your CV.
3. Run the following to command to automatically recompile your CV file on changes.

typst watch <your-cv-content>.typ

With typst.app

1. Upload the cv.typ, utils.typ, example.typ. and example.yml files to your Typst project. You may rename example.typ and example.yml.
2. Use example.typ and example.yml (or whatever the names after you rename it) as template/starting point for your CV.
