Clone and Use 📋

• The website is completely built on react-js library of javascript and that's why we need nodejs and npm installed
• While installing nodejs and npm, 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 and npm, clone the repository into your local system using below command:

   git clone https://github.com/saquibk765/masterPortfolio.git

  This will clone the whole repository in your system.
• 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.

Customize it to make your own portfolio ✏️

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.

package.json

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.

Personal Information

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.

How to change the icons on homepage under what i do section?

1. This section pulls data from skills in portfolio.js file.
2. Visit this website: https://icon-sets.iconify.design/
3. Search for the skill you are looking to add.
4. Select the icon of your choice.
5. Copy the text beside Selected Icon and replace it with fontAwesomeClassName of that particular softwareSkill.

How to use custom images instead of Iconify Icons?

1. Add a valid image file into the public/skills folder
2. Insert the image name into the imageSrc attribute of the particular softwareSkill
3. Remove the fontAwesomeClassName property or leave it empty because it takes precedence over imageSrc
4. Add custom styling to the img using the style Property

Github Information

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.

Splash Logo

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 or Adobe XD or Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. If you want to animate it, you can refer to ./src/components/Loader directory which contains js and css 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 see settings component as below:

    // Website related settings
    const settings = {
      isSplash: true,
    };

  • Change isSplash from true to false
  • Now, if you see your website using npm start, it will directly open home rather than animating logo splash screen
  • If you design your logo in future, then edit the files in ./src/components/Loader and then revert isSplash to true in src/portfolio.js.

Other

• 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.

Choose Theme 🌈

• 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.

Deployment 📦

• 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 the master 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 called gh-pages. It will push the build files to that branch.
• The last step in deploying is to enable Github Pages in settings of the repository and select gh-pages branch.

Now, your website is successfully deployed and you can visit it at <your-github-username>.github.io.
