ezProfile
A modern, responsive and customizable portfolio builder for Developers!
https://arifszn.github.io/ezprofile
**ezProfile** is an easy-to-customize personal dev portfolio builder that is created with React.js. When you manage the code in a GitHub repository, it will automatically render a webpage with the owner's profile information, including a photo, bio, and public repositories. Also, it includes space to highlight your details, job history, education history, skills, and recent blog posts.
It's all possible using [GitHub API](https://developer.github.com/v3/) (for automatically populating your website with content) and [Article-api](https://github.com/arifszn/article-api) (for fetching recent blog posts).

## 🛠 Installation & Set Up
These instructions will get you a copy of the project and deploy your website online!
- **[Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo)** the repo so you have your own project to customize by clicking the fork icon on the top right side. A "fork" is a copy of a repository.
- Rename your forked repository to `username.github.io` in github, where `username` is your GitHub username (or organization name).
- Go to your repo's **Actions** page and enable workflows.
- Open `package.json`, and change `homepage`'s value to `https://username.github.io`.
```js
// package.json
{
// ...
"homepage": "https://username.github.io",
}
```
- Now commit to your **main** branch with your changes.
- The CI/CD pipeline will publish your page at the gh-pages branch automatically.
- Go to your repo's **Settings** -> **Pages** -> **Source** and change the branch to gh-pages and click **save**.
- Your personal portfolio will be live at `username.github.io`.
- Any time you commit a change to the **main** branch, the website will be automatically updated.
You can skip the above steps and do a manual deployment by running `npm run deploy`. For more info, visit [here](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/#github-pages).
If you see only `README` at `username.github.io`, be sure to change your GitHub Page's source to `gh-pages` branch. See [how to](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site). Also, if you face any issue rendering the website, double-check the `homepage` value in the `package.json`. It must be the value matching the repository name.
As this is a create react app, you can also host your website to Netlify, Vercel, Heroku, or other popular services. Please refer to this [doc](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment) for a detailed deployment guide to other services.
