A LaTeX class for producing an academic oriented CV.
There are some optional parameters that can be passed (see "Usage" below), but the class primarily provides a clean, basic, acadmeic oriented CV layout.
This class, or really any github-based class, can be called by a symbolic link in your tex-tree. This has the benefit of allowing changes from the repository during development to be pulled directly down to the repository, and your use of the class, wherever on your system, will automatically call this version of the class file. This allows you to keep only one version of the file, and not be forced to place it in every folder you want to use the class with.
A proper symbolic link resides in your tex-tree and points to the github repository. One example, with pseudocode is below.
For a linux user with the default location of the texlive install, the following yields a proper symbolic link:
sudo mkdir <local_path_to_textree>/tex/latex/academic_cv
sudo ln -s <local_path_above_this_repo>/academic_cv/academic_cv/academic_cv.cls <local_path_to_textree>/tex/latex/academic_cv/academic_cv.cls
Note that the tex-tree is everything below /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/.
After the above command, a call to hash the tex-tree is necessary.
sudo texhash
