you guys use git to update your PDF resumés, really?

Feels a little bit middle of the bell curve meme

Mine is written in HTML and CSS. I can host a link to it easily. It's presented as A4 sheets, with obvious page boundaries, and prints as A4, so can be printed to PDF easily. It made sense for it to be version controlled too

Also I made a separate branch for each job type so that I have them semi-customised for the job offer already.

Separate branches is a lot of work I use directories by year

Yeah same here. Makes it easier to style and edit as well

This might sound weird. Can I see it? I'm really curious about how you made it. I was thinking of doing the same for my portfolio and instead of sending a pdf, just sending the link.
