📄 Configuration

Basic Configuration

90% of LiveTerm's configurations are done through the config.json file.

{
  "readmeUrl": // create a Github README and link it here!
  "title": // title of the website
  "name": // your name, included in 'about' command
  "ascii": // ascii art to display
  "social": {
    "github": // your handle
    "linkedin": // your handle
  },
  "email": // your email
  "ps1_hostname": "liveterm" // hostname in prompt
  "ps1_username": "visitor", // username in prompt
  "resume_url": "../resume.pdf", // path to your resume
  "non_terminal_url": "W",
  "colors": {
    "light": {
      ...
    },
    "dark": {
      ... // you can use existing templates in themes.json or use your own!
    }
  }
}

Feel free to change it as you see fit!

Themes

You can find several pre-configured themes in themes.json, and you can replace the colors in config.json with the theme color you like! The themes are based on the themes on this website.

For a better preview of the themes, checkout the images in the demo folder.

Favicons

Favicons are located in public/, along with the other files you may want to upload to your website. I used this website to generate favicons.

Banner

You may also want to change the output of the banner command. To do that, simply paste your generated banner in src/utils/bin/commands.ts. I used this website to generate my banner.

Advanced Configuration

If you want to further customize your page, feel free to change the source code to your liking!

🌐 Deploy on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy a Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js.

You can also connect your github account to vercel and have vercel automatically deploy the github repository for you.
