You can **merge multiple resumes together** by specifying them in order from
most generic to most specific:
```bash
# Merge specific.json onto base.json and generate all formats
hackmyresume build base.json specific.json -o resume.all
```
This can be useful for overriding a base (generic) resume with information from a specific (targeted) resume. For example, you might override your generic catch-all "software developer" resume with specific details from your targeted "game developer" resume, or combine two partial resumes into a "complete" resume. Merging follows conventional [extend()][9]-style behavior and there's no arbitrary limit to how many resumes you can merge:
