Creating a new CV withvitae can be done using the RStudio R Markdowntemplate selector:

These templates leverage the strength of rmarkdown to include commoninformation in the YAML header (name, position, social links…) andextended information in the main body. The main body of the CV iswritten using markdown, and allows for data-driven generation of entriesusing the*_entriesfunctions.This allows you to import your working history from other sources (suchas ORCID, Google Scholar, or a maintained dataset), and include themprogrammatically into your CV.

There are currently 6 templates available in this package:

vitae::awesomecv	vitae::hyndman

vitae::latexcv	vitae::markdowncv

vitae::moderncv	vitae::twentyseconds

Extending the package to add new templates is a somewhat simple process(details in thecreating vitaetemplatesvignette).
