> if you get stuck somewhere or get an error, please create an issue

### Let's Customize

#### Enabling Themes

Themes are specified using the `--theme [theme-name]` flag when running the `build` command. The available themes are

* `light`
* `dark`
> TODO: Add more themes

For example, the following command will build the website with the dark theme
```
$ node build --name username --theme dark
```

#### Customize background image

To customize the background image just provide `--background [url]` argument while building

```
$ node build --name username --background https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1557277770-baf0ca74f908?w=1634
```

You could also add in your custom CSS inside `index.css` to give it a more personal feel.


### Let's Publish

### Let's Publish

Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named `username.github.io`, where username is your username. Push the files inside`/dist` folder to repo you just created.

Go To `username.github.io` your site should be up!!


### Updating

To update your info, simply run

```
$ node update
```
This will update your info and your repository info.

To Update background or theme you need to run `build` command again.


### Add a Blog

To add your first blog run this command, make sure the title don't have spaces instead use "-".

```
$ node blog --title my-first-blog
```

This will create a `my-first-blog` folder inside `blog`. Inside `my-first-blog` you will find an `index.html` file which contains all the necessary elements for writing a blog. Customize the content of the file to write your first blog.

This also adds content to `blog.json` file. This file helps in showcasing your blogs on your personal website as [cards](https://imfunniee.github.io/gitfolio/#blog_section). You could customize the JSON object that corresponds your current blog.
