Deployment 🚀

Deploying the app to platforms like Vercel or Netlify is quick and easy.

Deploying to Vercel:

Sign up or log in to Vercel.
Once logged in, click on "New Project".
Select your GitHub repo (the one that contains your forked project) and click Import.
Configure your environment variables in the Vercel dashboard by adding each key from your .env file.
- E.g., NEXT_PUBLIC_GTM, NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, etc.
Click on Deploy. Vercel will automatically detect your Next.js app and build it.
Once the deployment is complete, you can visit your live website!

Updating After Deployment

Whenever you push changes to your GitHub repo, Vercel will automatically redeploy the app, keeping your portfolio up-to-date.

Deploying to Netlify:

Sign up or log in to Netlify.
In the Netlify Dashboard, click "New site from Git".
Connect your GitHub account and select your repo.
Configure your environment variables by going to Site Settings > Build & Deploy > Environment and adding keys from your .env file.
Click Deploy Site. Netlify will build and deploy your portfolio.

Tutorials 🔧

Gmail App Password Setup

Log in to your Google Account at https://myaccount.google.com/.
Navigate to Security from the left sidebar.
Scroll down to the "Signing in to Google" section and make sure 2-Step Verification is turned ON.
Once 2-Step Verification is enabled, you'll see an option for App Passwords.
Click on App Passwords. You may need to enter your Google account password again.
In the Select app dropdown, choose "Mail", and for Select device, choose "Other (Custom name)" and name it appropriately (e.g., "Portfolio").
Click Generate. A 16-character app password will be displayed. Save this password for later use in your environment variables (e.g., GMAIL_PASSKEY).

Create a Telegram Bot

Open Telegram and search for the user @BotFather.
Start a chat with BotFather and use the /newbot command to create a new bot.
Choose a name for your bot.
Set a unique username for your bot (must end with bot, e.g., PortfolioAssistantBot).
Once your bot is created, BotFather will send you a Token. Save this token, as you will need it for your environment variables (e.g., TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN).
To get your chat ID:
- Open your bot in Telegram and send it a message.
- Visit the following URL in your browser, replacing BOT_TOKEN with your actual bot token:
  https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates
- Look for the chat object in the response, which contains your chat ID (you can use this value for TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID).

Fetching Blog from dev.to

To display your blog posts from dev.to on the portfolio:

Set your devUsername in the utils/data.js file to your dev.to username.
The application will automatically fetch your latest blog posts and display them in the BLOG section.
Ensure your blogs are publicly visible on dev.to, and the application will fetch them using the dev.to API.
