\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,withhyper]{altacv}
%% AltaCV uses the fontawesome5 and simpleicons packages.
%% See http://texdoc.net/pkg/fontawesome5 and http://texdoc.net/pkg/simpleicons for full list of symbols.

% Change the page layout if you need to
\geometry{left=1.25cm,right=1.25cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=1.5cm,columnsep=1.2cm}

% The paracol package lets you typeset columns of text in parallel
\usepackage{paracol}

% Change the font if you want to, depending on whether
% you're using pdflatex or xelatex/lualatex
% WHEN COMPILING WITH XELATEX PLEASE USE
% xelatex -shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" sample.tex
\iftutex
  % If using xelatex or lualatex:
  \setmainfont{Roboto Slab}
  \setsansfont{Lato}

\else
  % If using pdflatex:
  \usepackage[rm]{roboto}
  \usepackage[defaultsans]{lato}
  % \usepackage{sourcesanspro}
  \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\fi

% Change the colours if you want to
\definecolor{SlateGrey}{HTML}{2E2E2E}
\definecolor{LightGrey}{HTML}{666666}
\definecolor{DarkPastelRed}{HTML}{450808}
\definecolor{PastelRed}{HTML}{8F0D0D}

\colorlet{emphasis}{SlateGrey}
\colorlet{body}{LightGrey}

% Change some fonts, if necessary
\renewcommand{\namefont}{\Huge\rmfamily\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\personalinfofont}{\footnotesize}
\renewcommand{\cvsectionfont}{\LARGE\rmfamily\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\cvsubsectionfont}{\large\bfseries}


% Change the bullets for itemize and rating marker
% for \cvskill if you want to
\renewcommand{\cvItemMarker}{{\small\textbullet}}
\renewcommand{\cvRatingMarker}{\faCircle}
% ...and the markers for the date/location for \cvevent
% \renewcommand{\cvDateMarker}{\faCalendar*[regular]}
% \renewcommand{\cvLocationMarker}{\faMapMarker*}


% If your CV/résumé is in a language other than English,
% then you probably want to change these so that when you
% copy-paste from the PDF or run pdftotext, the location
% and date marker icons for \cvevent will paste as correct
% translations. For example Spanish:
% \renewcommand{\locationname}{Ubicación}
% \renewcommand{\datename}{Fecha}


%% Use (and optionally edit if necessary) this .tex if you
%% want to use an author-year reference style like APA(6)
%% for your publication list
% \input{pubs-authoryear.cfg}

%% Use (and optionally edit if necessary) this .tex if you
%% want an originally numerical reference style like IEEE
%% for your publication list
\input{pubs-num.cfg}

%% sample.bib contains your publications
\addbibresource{sample.bib}

\begin{document}
\name{Your Name Here}
\tagline{Your Position or Tagline Here}
%% You can add multiple photos on the left or right
\photoR{2.8cm}{placeholder-photo}
% \photoL{2.5cm}{Yacht_High,Suitcase_High}

\personalinfo{%
  % Not all of these are required!

  %% You can add your own arbitrary detail with

  % \printinfo{\faPaw}{Hey ho!}[https://example.com/]

  %% Or you can declare your own field with
  %% \NewInfoFiled{fieldname}{symbol}[optional hyperlink prefix] and use it:
  \NewInfoField{gitlab}{\faGitlab}[https://gitlab.com/]
  \gitlab{your_id}
  %%
  %% For services and platforms like Mastodon where there isn't a
  %% straightforward relation between the user ID/nickname and the hyperlink,
  %% you can use \printinfo directly e.g.
  % \printinfo{\faMastodon}{@username@instace}[https://instance.url/@username]
  %% But if you absolutely want to create new dedicated info fields for
  %% such platforms, then use \NewInfoField* with a star:
  \NewInfoField*{mastodon}{\faMastodon}
  %% then you can use \mastodon, with TWO arguments where the 2nd argument is
  %% the full hyperlink.
  \mastodon{@username@instance}{https://instance.url/@username}
}

\makecvheader
%% Depending on your tastes, you may want to make fonts of itemize environments slightly smaller
% \AtBeginEnvironment{itemize}{\small}

%% Set the left/right column width ratio to 6:4.
\columnratio{0.6}

% Start a 2-column paracol. Both the left and right columns will automatically
% break across pages if things get too long.
\begin{paracol}{2}

Why each change was made, in the order of the diff:

- sample.tex: the first line is added. The LaTeX Project Public License asks a
  changed file to say that it was changed and to point to the list of its
  changes, which is this file.
- sample.tex: the photo line names placeholder-photo.png, a stand-in of our
  own for the Globe_High icon, which is not shipped here. Use it freely, or
  put your photo (a JPG or a PNG) beside sample.tex and use its name in that
  line.
