🚀 Setup and Running

   cd personal-site

2. (Optional) Ensure you're on Node v16 or higher:

   nvm install
   node --version

3. Install dependencies:

4. Start the application:

🚢 Deploying

Deploying to GitHub Pages

1. Update the environment variables and Git remote URL in .github/workflows/github-pages.yml.
2. Adjust the homepage value in package.json based on your hosting preferences.
3. Planning on using a custom domain? Update public/CNAME. Otherwise, remove it.

After making a commit to main, simply push your changes, and the deployment will be handled automatically.

Static Export

For a static export without deploying to GitHub Pages:

• Remove or disable .github/workflows/github-pages.yml.

• Execute:

  npm run predeploy

This will generate a static version in personal-site/build/ which you can host or deploy to a CDN.
