✨ Obsidian is a minimal and lightweight portfolio template built on NextJS and TailwindCSS. ✨
First, start by clicking the 'Use this template' button. It will create a clone of this repository.
Then, name it whatever ya want. (Just not "animated-palm-tree" haha)
Once finished creating your new repository, enter the following command into your terminal: (replace the values with your github username and repository name from earlier and enter into that directory)
git clone https://github.com/<--USER-->/<--REPO-->
cd <--FOLDER-NAME-->
Ba-da-boom! Your code is all there.... however you need to install dependencies like React, NextJS, and TailwindCSS into your project so the stuff actually works! Do so by installing them with the package manager of your choice:
# NPM
npm i
# Yarn
yarn
Now, before you run it locally, you should edit the content first!
To do so, open the data/config.js
file and edit the values to what makes you, you!
Also, replace the image located in public/static/profile.png
with a picture of yourself! Or a cool avatar! Or just keep it the same if you are actually LeBron James! (Hey LeBron if you're looking at this, then "hello world" to you!)
So... you want to change that icon that shows up on your browser tab for your portfolio? (aka: A "Favicon")
Follow these steps:
-
Create your logo and download it on your computer
-
Go to a favicon generator site like favicon.io, go through the steps to get you icon files.
-
Place those files in the
public/static/favicon/
like so:
Then it should be ready!
To see it in action in your browser, run the dev
script:
# NPM
npm run dev
# Yarn
yarn dev
Ta-da! 🎉
Now, how do you get this published for all the world to see? Vercel is an awesome and 100% free option for this.
Signup for free with your Github account and click the "New Project" button on your dashboard.
Import the github repository you just created then after some loading...
You're brand new portfolio should be ready to go!
Share it with some friends, family members, employers?
