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. d. To run your website navigate to `./dist/index.html` in your browser. [you won't see blogs until you are on localhost] 🎉 Congrats, you just made yourself a personal website! > if you get stuck somewhere or get an error, please create an issue ### Let's Customize #### Forks To include forks on your personal website just provide `-f` or `--fork` argument while building ``` $ node build --name username -f ``` #### Sorting Repos To sort repos provide `--sort [sortBy]` argument while building. Where `[sortBy]` can be `star`, `created`, `updated`, `pushed`,`full_name`. Default: `created` ``` $ node build --name username --sort star ``` #### Ordering Repos To order the sorted repos provide `--order [orderBy]` argument while building. Where `[orderBy]` can be `asc` or `desc`. Default: `asc` ``` $ node build --name username --sort star --order desc ``` #### Customize 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 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. ``` $ node blog --title my-first-blog ``` > (use "-" instead of spaces) 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).
