marshall-strong.github.io

This is the GitHub Repository for my personal web development portfolio.
It is a modified version of an existing template for portfolio sites: RyanFitzgerald/devportfolio.

The live version of this site can be found at www.marshallstrong.com.
The site uses the GitHub Pages static hosting service, and is compiled using Gulp.

The marshallstrong.com custom domain name is managed through dnsimple, and was set up by following the documentation for configuring a custom domain on GitHub Docs.

• apex domain: marshallstrong.com
• www subdomain: www.marshallstrong.com
• custom subdomain: custom.marshallstrong.com

A custom favicon for the site was created using favicon.io.

How to Secure your GitHub Pages Site with HTTPS

Running the Site in Development

• Install Gulp

  • npm install --global gulp-cli

• Clone or download the repository

• Run npm i to install Gulp dev dependencies

• Run Gulp to compile the Sass and minify the JavaScript

  • To run Gulp, run the npm script npm run watch
  • Alternatively, if the Gulp command line utility is installed, just run gulp watch

• All styles are in scss/styles.scss, and get compiled to css/styles.css by gulp

  • The site loads the CSS, but any changes should be made to the SCSS

• All scripts are in js/scripts.js, and get minified to js/scripts.min.js by gulp

  • Any changes should be made to js/scripts.js; the minified script is what gets loaded by the site

• To view the site, open index.html in a web browser

• Any changes made to the SCSS or JavaScript will be compiled/minified immediately, but the page must be refreshed before the changes will be visible on the site

• The same goes for any changes made to index.html -- the page must be reloaded before the changes will be visible
