🛠 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 using GitHub Pages!

• 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_NAME> (e.g. https://<USERNAME>.github.io/portfolio), rename your forked repository to <REPO_NAME> (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_NAME> (e.g. https://<USERNAME>.github.io/portfolio), then set base to '/<REPO_NAME>/' (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. Also, if you are not deploying to GitHub pages, base: might need to be deleted from vite.config.js.

Setting up locally

• Clone the project and change directory.

  git clone https://github.com/arifszn/gitprofile.git
  cd gitprofile

• Install dependencies.

  npm install

• Run dev server.

  npm run dev

• Finally, visit http://localhost:5173/gitprofile/ from your browser.

Installing as package

You can also use GitProfile by installing as an NPM package.

First Install GitProfile via NPM.

npm install @arifszn/gitprofile

Or via Yarn.

yarn add @arifszn/gitprofile

Then, import the package, import and style and provide the config.

import GitProfile from '@arifszn/gitprofile';
import '@arifszn/gitprofile/dist/style.css';

function App() {
  return (
    <GitProfile
      config={{
        github: {
          username: 'arifszn',
        },
      }}
    />
  );
}

export default App;
