Contributions are always welcome! Here's a few tips on how to get started.
-
To get started, please take a look at the 'Issues' tab, where you will find open issues that exist within the project. If you see one that interests you, create a branch and submit a PR for review and approval.
-
If you would like to add a new icon to the skills section, please follow the following steps:
-
You should first create three variations of the icon you are intending to add. All icons should be square (we recommend 128px x 128px).
- [iconName]-colored.svg: This should be the full-color version of the icon. Please ensure it stays loyal to the brand colors and guidelines set out by the brand itself.
- [iconName].svg: This icon will be the one that renders in light mode.
- [iconName]-dark.svg: This icon will be the one that renders in dark mode.
Please create SVG icon (we recommend using Adobe Illustrator, Figma or another vector-based graphics program)
-
In _app.js, all icon data is stored in an object called iconData.
Inside of this object, there are four keys, with strings as values:
{ name: "JavaScript", path: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielcranney/readme-generator/main/public/icons/skills/javascript-colored.svg", iTag: "javascript", link: "https://www.javascript.com/", },
Key Value name eg: "JavaScript". This value will be the one shown to the user via the tooltip. path The path for where the full-color version will be stored. Once the pull request has been merged, the icons you add will be found at "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielcranney/readme-generator/main/public/icons/skills/[iconName]-colored.svg". iTag The name that will be used for the CSS class, all lower case. link The URL for the official website of the language/technology being added. -
Adding your new icons to the site CSS is very simple. In styles/global.css, add the following block (replacing 'javascript' with the iTag you added in the last step).
.javascript { @apply bg-[url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielcranney/readme-generator/main/public/icons/skills/javascript.svg')] dark:bg-[url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielcranney/readme-generator/main/public/icons/skills/javascript-dark.svg')]; } .javascript.colored { @apply bg-[url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielcranney/readme-generator/main/public/icons/skills/javascript-colored.svg')]; }
