• have Git installed on your machine
• have Node.js installed on your machine
• basic familiarity with your machine's command line
• basic understanding of JSON data outline (arrays of objects basically)

• fork the repository and clone locally
• run npm install to install dependencies
• once installation is complete, run npm run start to get your local copy running in the browser.

• open the project in your file explorer, and navigate to src/img. there, you will see a bunch of images. these need to be replaced with your own images.

• add an image of yourself with the background removed, and cropped into a square. i know this seems picky, but the template is set up in a way that this is how it will look best :) I recommend using https://remove.bg to remove the background from your image. Once you add it to this img folder, rename it to self.png (delete the old self.png so yours replaces it)
• if background removal is not an option for you, any image you use will automatically be made into a circle. for this reason, square images without too tall of an aspect-ratio work best.
• example with background removed:

• example with background not removed:

• add to the img folder up to 5 screenshots of projects you have completed to be added to your portfolio page. this can either be a regular screenshot, or you can create mockups like what are on the default template. I created these in Canva -- if you would like help with creating them for your own projects, feel free to message me on Twitter and I will happily help you make them :)

example:

• to make life easier later, name these files mock1.png, mock2.png, etc.

Next, open the project in your code editor. Navigate to src/info/Info.js. There are some instructions written in the comments there, but I will go over it all here as well:

near the top of the file, you will find a line that looks like this:

export let colors = ["rgb(0,255,164)", "rgb(166,104,255)"];

There are the colors being used to determine the "accents" throughout the site - the circle behind your self portrait, the color of your name, the labels on the about page, and the underline for the navigation.

You can pick any colors you like for this, just play around with it and make sure to check the colors against both light mode and dark mode to make sure it looks good on both :)

going further down the Info.js file, you can start replacing the default information with your own information, such as first name, last name, initials, position, etc. Some of the values in this file should remain untouched -- be sure to read the comments to see what to edit.

if you're not sure how to get emojis for the miniBio and hobbies, on Mac you should be able to access the emoji keyboard with ctrl+cmd+space, and on Windows with windows+period('.')

Otherwise, use Emojipedia to find and copy-paste what you like.

For the 'socials' section, be sure to replace the links with your own social profile links.

For the 'portfolio' section, update the titles to whatever you want. The live link should be a link to the live demo of your project. The source link should be a link to the repository where the code of the project is hosted, such as GitHub.

Note: If you have more than 5 projects, you will need to add more objects to the portfolio array. Just copy from the opening bracket to the comma of one object and continue pasting as many as you need. If you need help with this, feel free to reach out.

And that's it! If you save the file and check your live server, you should see that the information has been updated and the portfolio has been customized.

Now, you can commit and push your changes to your forked repository, and deploy however you like.

And you're done!
