Welcome to your new developer portfolio! Here's how to make it yours.

Quick Setup

1. Sync Your GitHub Profile

Run the sync script to automatically pull your GitHub data:

./scripts/github-sync.sh your-github-username

This will:

  • Download your avatar to static/avatar.jpg
  • Fetch your repositories to static/repositories.json
  • Fetch your contribution graph to static/contributions.json
  • Update site.config.json with your profile info

2. Customize Your Profile

Edit site.config.json to fine-tune your profile:

{
  "profile": {
    "name": "Your Name",
    "username": "your-github-username",
    "bio": "Your custom bio"
  }
}

3. Add Blog Posts

Create markdown files in content/blog/ with frontmatter:

---
title: My First Post
description: A brief description
date: 2025-01-15
author: Your Name
---

Your content here...

4. Choose a Theme

The sync script randomly selects a theme. To change it manually, edit src/lib/index.css:

@import "statue-ssg/themes/purple.css";

Available themes: black-red, black-white, blue, charcoal, cyan, green, orange, pink, purple, red.

Features

  • Contribution Graph: Shows your GitHub activity

  • VS Code Preview: Click "View Code" on any repo to preview it
