Question

[sana-rekbi]

Hi David,

First of all, I want to thank you for sharing this portfolio project. I find it really attractive, and I liked it a lot. It's exactly the kind of presentation I was looking for to showcase my projects and work.

I wanted to ask if I have your permission to use your template for my own portfolio. Of course, I will make sure to give proper credit and mention that I used your template.

Additionally, I have a small question regarding deployment on Netlify: should I run the npm install command before uploading the portfolio folder to Netlify, or should I do it afterward? I would also like to know how to get it up and running. Do you have a tutorial video?

Thank you in advance for your response and for all the work you've put into this project.

Best regards,

Hello, Sana.
How are you?
Of course, feel free to use this project as you want ! 😊
As for deploying to Netlify, do the following:

To deploy your portfolio on Netlify, you can follow these steps:

Upload the repository:

In Netlify, you only need to link your GitHub repository to the site. Netlify will automatically handle the npm install command. When you connect the repository, Netlify will install dependencies and build the project before making it available online.
Steps on Netlify:

Go to your Netlify dashboard, click "Add new site" > "Import an existing project."
Connect your GitHub account, select your portfolio repository, and configure the branch you want to deploy (usually main or master).
Ensure the build command and output directory are set up correctly:
Build Command: For React projects, this command is usually npm run build.
Publish directory: For React projects, the output directory is usually build.
Automatic deploy:

Once configured, Netlify will automatically build and install dependencies each time you push to the configured branch. Your site will be available on a temporary domain, but you can customize this domain in "Domain settings" on the Netlify dashboard.

Let me know if you need further help with any step!
