Installation

As a GitHub Pages remote theme

1. Download portfolYOU as .zip from official repo then extract the files.
2. Delete unnecessary files and folders: README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, docs/
3. Delete theme directories, as they will be included remotely : _includes/, _layouts/, _sass/, assets/
4. Delete Gemfile and .gitignore if you aren’t going to set up the theme locally.

5. Your directory structure should be looking something like this:

   your_site_name/
   ├── _data/
   │   ├── other-skills.yml
   │   ├── programming-skills.yml
   │   ├── social-media.yml
   │   └── timeline.yml
   ├── _posts/
   │   ├── YYYY-MM-DD-article-1.md
   │   ├── ....
   │   └── YYYY-MM-DD-article-n.md
   ├── _projects/
   │   ├── project-1.md
   │   ├── ....
   │   └── project-n.md
   ├── articles/
   │   ├── index.html
   │   └── tags.html
   ├── pages/
   │   ├── about.md
   │   └── projects.html
   ├── _config.yml
   ├── 404.html
   ├── index.html
   └── search.json
   

6. Uncomment the following line in _config.yml:

    remote_theme: YoussefRaafatNasry/portfolYOU
   

   to use a specific version of portfolYOU:

    remote_theme: YoussefRaafatNasry/portfolYOU@v1.0.0
   

7. Replace baseurl: "/portfolYOU" with baseurl: "" if your are hosting the site at username.github.io directly.
8. Change other configuration options in _config.yml depending on your needs.
9. Set up portfolYOU locally or publish it to GitHub Pages.

As a Fork

1. Fork the repo.
2. Clone your fork.
3. Delete unwanted sections.
4. Modify and edit files’ contents upon your needs.
5. Change configuration options in _config.yml depending on your needs.
6. Commit and push changes to your fork.
7. Set up portfolYOU locally or publish it to GitHub Pages.

Sections

portfolYOU’s sections are independent, you can remove any section upon your needs. Here’s a list of the files and folders needed by each section:

If you are deleting any section, please consider the following:
¹ remove reference from _sass/portfolYOU.scss
² remove reference from _includes/scripts.html
³ remove collections and defaults from _config.yml
⁴ remove permalink and pagination from _config.yml
⁵ except _data/social-media.yml

Customization

When using portfolYOU as a theme means you can take advantage of the file overriding method. This allows you to overwrite any file in this theme with your own custom file, simply by matching the file name and path. The most common example of this would be if you want to add your own styles or change the favicon.
To change the favicon for example just generate your own using favicon or any other tool. Copy your new favicon.ico file into your own project with the same file path assets/favicon.ico.
