Getting Started

I first started by forking from al-folio.

Then, I changed the name of the forked repository to elijah-ye.github.io where elijah-ye is my Github username. If you want to do the same, you should change the forked repository to your username like yourName.github.io.

There are some more steps you should take to make it up and running. Here is a good video tutorial that helps me to get started.

Running Locally

If you want to run your portfolio locally, you can following the instructions in the README, but here is an exerpt:

For a hands-on walkthrough of running al-folio locally without using Docker, check out this cool blog post by one of the community members!

Assuming you have Ruby and Bundler installed on your system (hint: for ease of managing ruby gems, consider using rbenv), and also Python and pip (hint: for ease of managing python packages, consider using a virtual environment, like venv or conda. If you will use only jupyter, you can use pipx).

$ bundle install
# assuming pip is your Python package manager
$ pip install jupyter
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --lsi

To see the template running, open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000. You should see a copy of the theme’s demo website. Now, feel free to customize the theme however you like. After you are done, remember to commit your final changes.

Projects

I will now start to incorporate all of my undergraduate projects into the Project section.

Bug Log

  1. I encountered this bug when I was trying to add a new post. I searched up online and I found this quick fix, thought it might not be the best fix, but it works in my case.

    change the related_blog_post from true tp false then it should work.

Exploring

As for now, I am justing reading through the #sample-posts to see what the template has to offer. I will update if I find something really interesting!

Thanks for reading!
