  validate  Validate resume's schema.
  version   Show application version.

Export your resume with a custom theme, for exemple one located in ./themes/my-beautiful-theme:

resume export --theme my-beautiful-theme

If you want to export custom version of your resume, for example a shorter one located at ./resume.short.json, to PDF only:

resume export --resume resume.short.json --pdf

You can put your theme in themes/<name> next to your resume.json file. It uses Jinja as templating engine. Take a look at the included themes that you can take as example to write your own.

Since it uses Jinja, it is not compatible with "official" community themes.
