- The website is completely built on
react-js
library ofjavascript
and that's why we neednodejs
andnpm
installed - While installing
nodejs
andnpm
, try to install versions which are equal or greater than the versions mentioned in badges above - In case you want to help developing it or simply saving it, you can fork the repository just by clicking the button on the top-right corner of this page
- After the successful installation of
nodejs
andnpm
, clone the repository into your local system using below command:This will clone the whole repository in your system.git clone https://github.com/aditya1919/masterPortfolio.git
- To download required dependencies to your system, navigate to the directory where the cloned repository resides and
execute following command:
npm install
- Now the project is ready to use
- You can check it using
npm start
, it will open the website locally on your browser.
In this project, there are basically 4 things that you need to change to customize this to anyone else's portfolio: * package.json*, Personal Information, Github Information and Splash Logo.
Open this file, which is in the main cloned directory, choose any "name" and change "homepage "
to https://<your-github-username>.github.io
. Do not forget the https://
, otherwise fonts will not load.
You will find src/portfolio.js
file which contains the complete information about the user. The file looks something
like below:
// Home Page
const greeting = {
...
}
// Social Media
const socialMediaLinks = {
...
}
...
You can change the personal information, experience, education, social media, certifications, blog information, contact
information etc. in src/portfolio.js
to directly reflect them in portfolio website.
- This section pulls data from
skills
in portfolio.js file. - Visit this website: https://icon-sets.iconify.design/
- Search for the skill you are looking to add.
- Select the icon of your choice.
- Copy the text beside Selected Icon and replace it with
fontAwesomeClassName
of that particular softwareSkill.
- Add a valid image file into the
public/skills
folder - Insert the image name into the
imageSrc
attribute of the particular softwareSkill - Remove the
fontAwesomeClassName
property or leave it empty because it takes precedence overimageSrc
- Add custom styling to the
img
using thestyle
Property
You will find git_data_fetcher.mjs
file in the main directory of the repository. This file is used to fetch the data (
Pull requests, Issues, Organizations, Pinned projects etc.) from your github.
In the project you will see a env.example
file, create a new file named .env
and copy contents of env.example
into
it. In that file, you will see the following environment variables
GITHUB_TOKEN = your_token;
GITHUB_USERNAME = your_username;
You can get a github token as
described here. Give all
permissions while generating token. Add your github username and the token generated in GITHUB_USERNAME
and GITHUB_TOKEN
variables in the .env file.
Now, you need to run following command. (Make sure you executed npm install
before this)
Warning: Treat your tokens like passwords and keep them secret. When working with the API, use tokens as environment variables instead of hardcoding them into your programs.
node git_data_fetcher.mjs
This will fetch all the data from your github and it will automatically replace my data with yours. Whenever you want to update the github related information on the website you need to run this command.
Note here that if you click my portfolio, you can see animating the logo at the
beginning. I have designed that logo in Figma
and then animated it using css.
Therefore, this part of portfolio is not customizable. But don't worry we have a solution to this problem. You have
below two alternatives:
-
If you want to design your own logo, then you can design it using
Figma
orAdobe XD
orAdobe Illustrator
orInkscape
. If you want to animate it, you can refer to./src/components/Loader
directory which containsjs
andcss
files which animates the logo -
If you don't want Splash screen or you don't know how to design logo, then this option is for you
- You can open
src/portfolio.js
file and at the top of this file you will seesettings
component as below:// Website related settings const settings = { isSplash: true, };
- Change
isSplash
fromtrue
tofalse
- Now, if you see your website using
npm start
, it will directly openhome
rather than animating logosplash
screen - If you design your logo in future, then edit the files in
./src/components/Loader
and then revertisSplash
totrue
insrc/portfolio.js
.
- You can open
- You need to change the website title and other descriptions in
public/index.html
- You can define your own favicon in
public/icons
directory. If you don't have a favicon, you can generate favicons from Favicon Generator and Favicon IO - You can also edit your website preview (known as description image). Run your site locally, take a screenshot and
replace with
public/icons/desc.png
. Note that your screenshot should be 1280x640 for better preview.
- You can take a look at
src/theme.js
file where all available themes are mentioned with their respective color codes - At the bottom of this file you will see the below code:
export const chosenTheme = blueTheme;
- You need to change the name from
blueTheme
to whatever theme you want to set your website to - You can define new theme similarly as other themes and you can assign name of that new defined theme
to
chosenTheme
- That's it. You just need to change the theme name and the code will take care of everything else
- Run
npm start
to check if everything is ok.
- Once you are done with your setup and have successfully completed all steps above, you need to put your website online!
- I highly recommend using Github Pages to achieve this the EASIEST WAY.
- To deploy your website, you have two options. First you need to create a github repository with the
name
<your-github-username>.github.io
. Please don't give it any other name. - Now, you need to generate a production build and deploy the website.
Option 1:
- Run
npm run build
to generate the production build folder. - Enter the build folder,
git init
and push the generated code to themaster
branch of your new repository on github. That's it. It's Done. - You may need to
git init
and force push at every new build.
Option 2 (will not work with user pages):
- Run
npm run deploy
to build and create a branch calledgh-pages
. It will push thebuild
files to that branch. - The last step in deploying is to enable
Github Pages
in settings of the repository and selectgh-pages
branch.
Now, your website is successfully deployed and you can visit it at <your-github-username>.github.io
.
