### personal website + blog for every github user
Gitfolio will help you get started with a portfolio website where you could showcase your work + a blog that will help you spread your ideas into real world.
Check out this [live demo](https://imfunniee.github.io/gitfolio/) to see gitfolio in action.
# Getting Started
### Let's Build
```sh
git clone https://github.com/imfunniee/gitfolio.git # Clone the repo
cd gitfolio # Navigate into the project folder
npm i # Install the required dependencies
```
Gitfolio is now ready to be used. The command
```sh
node build --name [username]
```
Will build your website using your GitHub username and put it in the `dist/` folder.
If you want to use a different folder, you can specify it by setting the `--out` flag.
```sh
node build --name [username] --out [directory]
```
To open your site, run
```sh
open dist/index.html
```
If you specified a different output directory, replace `dist/` with the directory you used.
Congrats, you just made yourself a personal website!

### 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
You could also add in your custom CSS inside `index.css` to give it a more personal feel.
### Let's Publish
Push the files to github. You can host your website using github pages by naming your repo ``username.github.io``. You can also your custom domain.
### 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.

### Enable Blogs
Blog are disabled by default. To enable them head over to `assets/index.html` and find `<div id="blog_section" style="display:none;">`. Remove the style attribute to show your blogs on your personal website.
If you have run build command before adding a blog you need have to remove the style attribute from `index.html` file aswell.
