How To Use

From your command line, clone and run developerFolio:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/Eslam-Abdo/Eslam-Abdo.github.io.git 

# Go into the repository
cd Eslam-Abdo.github.io

Linking Portfolio to GitHub

Generate a GitHub personal access token following these instructions Make sure you don't select any scope just generate a simple token. If you are using GitHub Actions to deploy your portfolio you can skip this section.

1. Create a file called .env in the root directory of your project (if not done already in section: How To Use)

Note: Configuring environment variables before deploying your portfolio is highly recommended as some components depend on API data.

- Eslam-Abdo.github.io
  - node_modules
  - public
  - src
  - .env         <-- create it here
  - env.example  <-- this is the base file
  - .gitignore
  - package-lock.json
  - package.json

2. Inside the .env file, add key REACT_APP_GITHUB_TOKEN and assign your GitHub token like this, also add your username as GITHUB_USERNAME

// .env
REACT_APP_GITHUB_TOKEN = "YOUR GITHUB TOKEN HERE"
GITHUB_USERNAME = "YOUR GITHUB USERNAME"

Set showGithubProfile to true or false to show Contact Profile using GitHub, defaults to false.

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.

Note: Open Source Projects section only show pinned items of your GitHub. If you are seeing something as shown below, follow these instructions.

If the above solution still doesn't work, visit the wiki page.

Change and customize every section according to your need.

Personalize page content in /src/portfolio.js & modify it as per your need. You will also need to modify index.html to change the title and metadata to provide accurate SEO for your personal portfolio.

/* Change this file to get your Personal Porfolio */

const greeting = {
  /* Your Summary And Greeting Section */
  title: "Hi all I'm Islam",
  subTitle: emoji("A passionate Embedded Software  Software Developer 🚀"),

};

Using Emojis

For adding emoji 😃 into the texts in Portfolio.js, use the emoji() function and pass the text you need as an argument. This would help in keeping emojis compatible across different browsers and platforms.

Customize Lottie Animations

You can choose a Lottie and download it in json format from sites like this. In src/assets/lottie, replace the Lottie json file you want to alter with the same file name. If you want to change the Lottie options, go to src/components/displayLottie/DisplayLottie.js and change the defaultOptions object, you can refer react-lottie docs for more info on the defaultOptions object.

Deployment

When you are done with the setup, you should host your website online. We highly recommend to read through the Deploying on GitHub Pages docs for React.

Configuring GitHub Actions (Recommended)

First you should enable, GitHub Actions for the repository you use.

The Profile and the Repository information from GitHub is only created at the time of deploy and the site needs to be redeployed if those information needs to be updated. So, a configurable CRON Job is setup which deploys your site every week, so that once you update your profile on GitHub it is shown on your portfolio. You can also trigger it manually using workflow_dispatch event, see this guide on how to do that.

• When you are done with the configuration, we highly recommend to read through the GitHub Actions Configuring a workflow docs.

Deploying to GitHub Pages

This section guides you to deploy your portfolio on GitHub pages.

• Navigate to package.json and enter your domain name in homepage variable. For example, if you want your site to be https://<your-username>.github.io/, add the same to the homepage section of package.json.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Optionally, configure the domain. You can configure a custom domain with GitHub Pages by adding a CNAME file to the public/ folder.

• Follow through the guide to setup GitHub pages from the official CRA docs here.

Deploying to Netlify

You could also host directly with Netlify by linking your own repository.
