Idea: Compile PDF using GitHub Actions #2

Closed patrickm663 closed 9 months ago

patrickm663 commented 9 months ago

Hi Dario

If you're interested, I ended up doing something similar (also based off AltaCV) and used GitHub Actions to compile the PDF on every successful commit to main. I send my PDF to S3 but that is personal preference. I faced some issues selecting the correct LaTeX action so hopefully this helps someone :)

I need to update mine some more re formatting issues but here's my repo: https://github.com/patrickm663/cv.

Please feel free to close if it's not relevant.

Regards Patrick

Hey Patrick

That is a great suggestion - thanks!

I did consider it, only I suspected that it might have used too much of the free GitHub Actions compute time to get a LuaTeX installation up, etc. Since you mention it, it cannot be too expensive, so I'll definitely look into it.

Hey Dario

I've noticed the pipeline can take 1.5-2.5 mins to run, so very fair point to keep an eye on the free credits. As of now, I haven't been notified/warned by GitHub, but I suspect it might not be feasible if one has a number of repos using GitHub Actions.

I ended up implementing your idea in the end! Thanks a bunch! As, you can see, I opted to host the compiled PDF right here on GitHub as part of a continuously-updating Release. Then my website and stuff can just reference that file via its permalink. Even the README on this repo can include a nice image preview.

Great idea. Thanks again.

Thanks for the update! It comes our really nice as an image preview!

You're welcome, happy to have helped. Best of luck with your PhD.
