View Demo · Report Bug · Request Feature

GitProfile is an easy to use portfolio builder where you can create a portfolio page automatically by just providing your GitHub username. The project was originally built by Arif and it is modified for use as a template for students of The Young Maker to include Scratch projects as well. It is built using React.js on top of Vite. But it's not necessary to have knowledge on these to get you started. You can make your own copy with zero coding experience.

🛠 Installation & Setup

There are three ways to use GitProfile. Use any.

Forking this repo (recommended)
Setting up locally
Installing as package

Forking this repo

These instructions will get you a copy of the project and deploy your portfolio online!

Fork repo: Click here to fork the repo so you have your own project to customize. A "fork" is a copy of a repository.
Rename repo:
- If you want to host your portfolio at https://<USERNAME>.github.io, rename your forked repository to username.github.io in GitHub, where username is your GitHub username (or organization name).
- If you want to host your portfolio at https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPO> (e.g. https://<USERNAME>.github.io/portfolio), rename your forked repository to <REPO> (e.g. portfolio) in GitHub.
Enable workflows: Go to your repo's Actions tab and enable workflows.
Base Value: Open vite.config.js, and change base's value.
- If you are deploying to https://<USERNAME>.github.io, set base to '/'.
- If you are deploying to https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPO> (e.g. https://<USERNAME>.github.io/portfolio), then set base to '/<REPO>/' (e.g. '/portfolio/').
```
// vite.config.js
{
  base: '/',
  // ...
}
```
Commit the changes: Now commit to your main branch with your changes. Wait a few minutes so that the CI/CD pipeline can publish your website to GitHub Pages. You can check the progress in the Actions tab.

Your portfolio website will be live shortly. Any time you commit a change to the main branch, the website will be automatically updated. If you face any issue viewing the website, double-check the base value in the vite.config.js file. Also, check if Source is set to GitHub Actions in Settings ➜ Pages ➜ Build and deployment.

If you wish to add a custom domain, no CNAME file is required. Just add it to your repo's Settings ➜ Pages ➜ Custom domain.

As this is a Vite project, you can also host your website to Netlify, Vercel, Heroku, or other popular services. Please refer to this doc for a detailed deployment guide to other services.
