GIT-ME(1) Toon Claes's resume GIT-ME(1) NAME git-me - Show Toon Claes's resume SYNOPSIS git me [<branch-name>] DESCRIPTION Show Toon Claes's resume in a git(1) history. You can clone this git repository containing Toon's complete resume, but when you do, you will get an empty tree. The data for Toon's resume isn't stored in any file in this repository, but it's in the git-log(1) history itself. git(1) is a great tool to track the history of a bunch of text files, and it's most often used to store computer source code. But it allows you to completely rewrite the history of a git repository. This makes is possible to create a fully arbitrary history. I'm using this to write everything one would write in their resume into the git commit log. USAGE You can visit this project in your browser at https://git-me.tech. Or you can visit it through curl: curl -L git-me.tech If you like to have a local copy of the git repo, run: git clone https://git-me.tech The following command will add the `git me` alias: git config alias.me '!f() { git log --graph --date-order \ --format="%Cred%h%Cgreen%d%Creset%C(bold) %s%Creset%n%C(italic)Date: %Cblue%as%Creset%n%b" \ origin/${1:-$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)}; }; f' Or if you want to use the automated installation: curl -L# git-me.tech/install.sh | sh This will clone the repo in a temporary directory, and install the git-me alias in it. Nothing is installed permanently on your computer. BRANCHES When you're using this project on the command line you can pass the branch name as an argument, when you're looking at this project rendered as a webpage, you can click on the branch names. <branch-name> By default you'll get my full resume, but that output can quite overwhelming. So you can slim down the output by passing a branch name. Here are a few examples: jobs This only prints info related to my job history. job/gitlab This narrows history down to my job at GitLab. education This shows my education. skills Lists all my skills I've gathered through the years.
