txtcv CLI

txtcv is a modern, minimal CLI program for managing your txtcv CV from the terminal. It helps you spin up a new CV, validate it against the JSON resume schema, authenticate with txtcv.com, and publish updates in seconds.

Features

• init scaffolds a starter cv.json file you can customise.
• validate checks your CV against the bundled JSON Schema before you publish.
• convert converts your CV between JSON and YAML formats.
• auth manages your personal access token (login, logout, check).
• publish uploads the contents of cv.json to txtcv.com using your token.

Installation

The CLI can be installed either using Homebrew or using Cargo.

Homebrew installation

brew install txtcv/tap/txtcv

Cargo installation

# build and install locally
cargo install --path .

# alternatively, build the binary without installing
cargo build --release

Usage

Display the built-in help:

txtcv --help

Typical workflow:

# 1. Create a starter cv.json
 txtcv init

# 2. Fill in cv.json with your details

# 3. Validate before publishing
 txtcv validate

# 4. (Optional) Convert to YAML format
 txtcv convert json yaml --filename cv.json

# 5. Authenticate with your personal access token
 txtcv auth login

# 6. Publish updates to txtcv.com
 txtcv publish --cv-id <your-cv-id>

Authentication details

txtcv auth login securely stores your personal access token using the confy crate. Subsequent commands reuse the stored token until you run txtcv auth logout to clear it.
