ilia 234a8866b1 Multi-resume profiles, ai-bw template, and README refresh

Resume data is loaded from resume/<slug>.yml via RESUME_NAME (default dobkin), with per-slug profile photos and webpack alias wiring. Export and preview honor the slug; package scripts add convenience dev/export targets. Add ai-bw layout and preview asset, cherepaha profile, and experience legend metadata on green and purple. When birth year is omitted, cool and material-dark themes show "Based in" instead of "Born" so birth.location can mean current location. README documents the new workflow and fixes export wording.

Prerequisite

It is required to have Node.js with version 8.5.0 or higher. To see what version of Node.js is installed on your machine type the following command in the terminal:

node -v

If you do not have installed Node.js in your machine then go to this link in order to install node.

How to use

Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/salomonelli/best-resume-ever.git

Go to the cloned directory (e.g. cd best-resume-ever).
Run npm install. This may take a few seconds.
Customize your resume in the resume/ directory. Data lives in one YAML file per profile, named resume/<slug>.yml (for example resume/dobkin.yml). The build defaults to the dobkin slug unless you set RESUME_NAME to another slug (without .yml). For a second profile, add resume/cherepaha.yml and run with RESUME_NAME=cherepaha. Convenience scripts are in package.json (for example npm run dev:dobkin and npm run dev:cherepaha).

For the profile photo, use resume/<slug>.jpg when it matches the active slug, otherwise the fallback resume/id.jpg is used.
Preview resumes with npm run dev (or RESUME_NAME=<slug> npm run dev). The command will start a server instance and listen on port 8080. Open (http://localhost:8080/home) in your browser. The page will show some resume previews. To see the preview of your resume, with your picture and data, click on one layout that you like and the resume will be opened in the same window.

Export your resume as PDF by running npm run export (with the same RESUME_NAME you used for dev, if not the default). To avoid errors from two npm run processes at once, stop any running npm run dev before exporting, unless you use a script that starts the dev server and export together (see export:dobkin and similar in package.json). You can also export a single template, for example node scripts/export.js ai-bw.

PDFs are written to the pdf/ folder.
