To edit the content and design of your résumé, follow these steps:

2. Introduction

Open entries/content/introduction.md and edit the text content of the file with your personal short introduction summary. Limit it to 2-3 sentences and convey your motivation. You can edit the title of the section here as well.

3. Work Experience & Education

The entries for the sections "work experience" and "education" are stored as markdown files in src/entries/work and src/entries/education.

Delete the demo files in there and create your own. The text should describe your responsibilities, learnings or achievements. Include the following frontmatter data:

Key	Description	Required
title	the title of the entry. in "work experience", this sould be your role/position, in "education" this should be the degree/certification earned.	required
start	ISO timestamp of when you started this job or education.	required
end	ISO timestamp of when you ended this job or education. If not defined, that entry will say "- Present"	optional
organization	name of your employer (when "work") or school (when "education")	optional
organizationUrl	link to website of your employer (when "work") or school (when "education")	optional
location	location of company or school	optional

4. Github Repositories

If you want, you can include the five most starred repositories from your Github account. This will fetch the current data at build time, at most once a day. To do this, edit src/data/repositories.js and change the YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME var to your Github username.

5. Custom Content

Edit entries/content/custom.md if you want to edit freeform content to the end of the CV. This could be a legal disclaimer or an additional section. Delete the file if you don't want this section to show up.

6. Meta Data & Design

Open src/data/meta.json and replace the url with the URL of your hosted résumé. You can also customize the language and color scheme here.

Supported properties are:

Key	Description	Required
url	the URL of your hosted résumé, e.g. "https://my-resume.com". (no trailing slash)	required
lang	the 2-digit language identifier of your résumé, e.g. "en", "de", etc.	required
locale	the locale code of your résumé, e.g. "en_US", "de_DE", etc.	required
colors.primary	The HEX code of the primary brand color. defaults to blue #005b96	optional
colors.secondary	The HEX code of the secondary brand color. defaults to red #fc6767	optional

7. Internationalization

There are a few hardcoded english strings used in the template, such as the section titles and some labels. If you want to change the default language from english to something else, you can translate these strings by changing the values in data/strings.json.
