Getting Started 🚀

Here's a Complete Guide to walk you through the process of setting your own Portfolio Website with this minimal template on your local machine as well as hosting it on GitHub.

Prerequisites 📋

You'll need VSCode and Git installed on your computer.

You'll also need these two extensions Live Server and Live Sass Compiler installed in your VSCode.

Press F1 and Search for Open Settings(JSON) and paste the below code before the closing braces( } ).

"liveSassCompile.settings.generateMap": false,
"liveSassCompile.settings.formats": [
    {
      "format": "compressed",
      "savePath": "/css",
      "extensionName": ".css"
    }
  ],
"liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList": ["**/node_modules/**", ".vscode/**"],

How To Use 🔧

In VSCode, Open the terminal(Ctrl+` ) and clone the DevFolio Repo.

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/AnilSeervi/DevFolio.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd DevFolio

# Remove current origin repository
$ git remote remove origin

And delete the .github folder as you don't need it.

Now Simply click on Watch Sass and Go Live in the Status Bar.

OR

Press Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 to Show Command Palette, Search for Watch Sass and turn it on. Also search for Open With Live Server and turn it on. Doing this will watch all your Sass files for changes and will open the website in your browser to preview live.

Template Instructions

Step 1 - STRUCTURE

Open index.html and fill your information, there are 6 sections:

Head Section

  • Add a title to your Portfolio website within the <title> tag.
  • Add some keywords and description to your Portfolio website as directed in the index.html file.
<!-- Title: add your Portfolio websites's title here -->
<title>[Your name here] | Developer</title>
<!-- Add some coding keywords below, Ex: (javascript, yourusername, etc) -->
<meta name="keywords" content="[username], [name], skill" />
<!-- Improve your SEO by adding a small descrption of you -->
<meta name="description" content="[Your name here] | Developer" />
  • Remove google analytics tag before pushing it to GitHub.

Hero Section

  • On .hero-title, put your custom title.
  • On .hero-cta, put your custom button cta.

<!-- END Footer Section -->

Step 2 - STYLES

Change the color theme of the website ( choose 2 colors to create a gradient ):

Go to style/base/_variables.scss and only change the values on these properties $main-color and $secondary-color to your prefered HEX color.

Save the .scss file so that the Live Sass Compiler extension compiles it to .css.

// Default values
$primary-color: #36d1dc;
$secondary-color: #5b86e5;

NOTE: I highly recommend to checkout gradients variations on UI Gradient

  • You can clear the README.md file and add you own readme to it.
  • Also you don't need to push the style folder, so you can add style to .gitignore file to ignore it while pushing it to the repo.
  • Delete the file CNAME before you push it.

Deployment 📦

  • Head to your GitHub account and create a new repo. And set a new remote for our template repo.

    Note: remote URL will be different.

    # set a new remote
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/user.repo.git

  • Now commit all your changes with a commit message and push the code to your newly created repo.

    # commit changes
$ git commit -m 'created my portfolio'
# push the changes
$ git push -u origin master

  • Refresh your repo page and head to the settings tab. Now scroll down till you see GitHub Pages. In the Source section select the branch to be master and save it!

  • Voilà your Portfolio should be live at https://username.github.io/repoName/
