If you would like to contribute, but don't know where to start, check the issues that are labeled good first issue or help wanted.

Contributions make the open-source community a fantastic place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.

The development branch is main. This is the branch where all pull requests should be made.

Reporting Bugs

Please try to create bug reports that are:

  • Reproducible. Include steps to reproduce the problem.
  • Specific. Include as much detail as possible: which version, what environment, etc.
  • Unique. Do not duplicate existing opened issues.
  • Scoped to a Single Bug. One bug per report.

Testing

Please test your changes before submitting the PR.

Good First Issues

We have a list of help wanted and good first issue that contains small features and bugs with a relatively limited scope. Nevertheless, this is a great place to get started, gain experience, and get familiar with our contribution process.

Development

Follow these steps to set up the environment and run the application.

How to install

  1. Fork the repository here.

  2. Clone the forked repository.

    git clone https://github.com/<YOUR-USERNAME>/Resume-Matcher.git
cd Resume-Matcher

  3. Create a Python Virtual Environment:

    • Using virtualenv:

      Note: Check how to install virtualenv on your system here link.

      virtualenv env

    OR

    • Create a Python Virtual Environment:

      python -m venv env

  4. Activate the Virtual Environment.

    • On Windows.

      env\Scripts\activate

    • On macOS and Linux.

      source env/bin/activate

    OPTIONAL (For pyenv users)

    Run the application with pyenv (Refer to this article)

    • Build dependencies (on ubuntu)

      sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python openssl

      
sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev liblzma-dev libncurses-dev

sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev

sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev liblzma-dev
      • pyenv installer
         curl https://pyenv.run | bash

    • Install desired python version

        pyenv install -v 3.11.0

    • pyenv with virtual enviroment

         pyenv virtualenv 3.11.0 venv

    • Activate virtualenv with pyenv

         pyenv activate venv
      1. Install Dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt

  5. Prepare Data:

    • Resumes: Place your resumes in PDF format in the Data/Resumes folder. Remove any existing contents in this folder.
    • Job Descriptions: Place your job descriptions in PDF format in the Data/JobDescription folder. Remove any existing contents in this folder.

  6. Parse Resumes to JSON:

    python run_first.py
    1. Run the Application:
    streamlit run streamlit_app.py

Note: For local versions, you do not need to run "streamlit_second.py" as it is specifically for deploying to Streamlit servers.

Additional Note: The Vector Similarity part is precomputed to optimize performance due to the resource-intensive nature of sentence encoders that require significant GPU and RAM resources. If you are interested in leveraging this feature in a Google Colab environment for free, refer to the upcoming blog (link to be provided) for further guidance.


Docker

  1. Build the image and start application

        docker-compose up

  2. Open localhost:80 on your browser


Running the Web Application

The full stack Next.js (React and FastAPI) web application allows users to interact with the Resume Matcher tool interactively via a web browser.

To run the full stack web application (frontend client and backend api servers), follow the instructions over on the webapp README file.

Code Formatting

This project uses Black for code formatting. We believe this helps to keep the code base consistent and reduces the cognitive load when reading code.

Before submitting your pull request, please make sure your changes are in accordance with the Black style guide. You can format your code by running the following command in your terminal:

black .

Pre-commit Hooks

We also use pre-commit to automatically check for common issues before commits are submitted. This includes checks for code formatting with Black.

If you haven't already, please install the pre-commit hooks by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

Now, the pre-commit hooks will automatically run every time you commit your changes. If any of the hooks fail, the commit will be aborted.
