hello

Personal webpage

As you probably have guessed, "Hello" is my repository to store my personal website. Surprising, isn't it? 😲 😂

How I did the website

First, I created this website in my computer using Atom.

I used Bootstrap to find some inspiration, but I created not only my own HTML but also the CSS. I wasn't supposed to do this, but I had some problems in the process, so I made a virtue out of necessity and I could customize more my website (and learn, by the way)

How I uploaded the website

I created a new repository and, inside it, a new file. This file was named "docs/index.html". Once I had it, I copied my html code and pasted there. Then, commit changes.

The next step was the css. I created a new file in the same folder (where I have the index.html) and stored it ending in .css. I gave it the name "indexstyle.css", so I needed to replace the name as well in index.html to actually relate the two documents.

As a third step, I uploaded the .woff that I had used to make a spark character. Otherwise, it doesn't work (I proved it 😅)

How I got the URL

In the setting of the repository, go to Github Pages and select in Source "master-branch/doc-folder". Then save it and Github gives you an URL with your name first, then .github.io/ and the name of your repository.

Beneath that option, there is a bottom to customize your domain. But I am still exploring the possibilities (if you're tempting of customizing with www.myfullname.com, don't do it, unless you have already the domain or you're more expert).

More ways

There are another ways of creating or uploading a website using Github.

Here is the official info from Github.
