This is the command line tool for JSON Resume, the open-source initiative to create a JSON-based standard for resumes.
This repository is not actively maintained. It's recommended to use one of the third-party clients that support the JSON Resume standard instead:
Install the command-line tool:
npm install -g resume-cli
