Spacing issue in cls file

[rikudoukarthik]

I recently faced an issue when trying to make a CV using the AwesomeCV template. My problem was that it considered regular content and R code content as two different kinds of content, and gave different spacing for each.

When I looked into the cls, I noticed that in addition to \acvSectionContentTopSkip and \acvSectionTopSkip values, there was another \vspace{-3mm} in the %Define a subsection for CV and %Define a paragraph for CV options. I chose to remove the -3mm from here, and also changed \acvSectionContentTopSkip from 2.5mm to 0.5mm. Now things seem much better.

Could you maybe explain why exactly there is \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip} as well as \vspace{-3mm} in the original code?

Awesome-CV/awesome-cv.cls

Lines 561 to 577 in 4be6c21

	% Define a section for CV
	% Usage: \cvsection{<section-title>}
	\newcommand{\cvsection}[1]{%
	\vspace{\acvSectionTopSkip}
	\sectionstyle{#1}
	\phantomsection
	\color{gray}\vhrulefill{0.9pt}
	}
	% Define a subsection for CV
	% Usage: \cvsubsection{<subsection-title>}
	\newcommand{\cvsubsection}[1]{%
	\vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
	\vspace{-3mm}
	\subsectionstyle{#1}
	\phantomsection
	}

Yep, I have the same issue. My third cventry is squished too closely to my second entry. The fix provided by @rikudoukarthik worked for me. What are the consequences for this fix?
