🌐 How to Deploy Your Portfolio
Deploying your portfolio website is a crucial step to make it live on the internet. Follow the steps below to successfully deploy your website. 💼
🔧 Steps to Deploy
- Step 1: Prepare your files 🗂️
Ensure all your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and asset files (like images and fonts) are correctly organized in your project directory.
- Step 2: Choose a hosting platform 🌍
There are several free and paid hosting platforms available. For beginners, we recommend using GitHub Pages or Netlify.
- Step 3: Deploy with GitHub Pages 🚀
If you choose GitHub Pages, follow these steps:
- Initialize a git repository in your project folder using
git init.
- Add your files to the repository with
git add ..
- Commit your changes with
git commit -m "Initial commit".
- Push your changes to a GitHub repository using
git push origin main.
- Go to the repository settings on GitHub and enable GitHub Pages from the
main branch.
- Step 4: Deploy with Netlify 🚀
If you choose Netlify, follow these steps:
- Sign in to Netlify and create a new site from Git.
- Connect your GitHub repository to Netlify.
- Configure the build settings and deploy the site.
- Step 5: Verify your deployment ✔️
Once deployed, verify that your site is live by navigating to the provided URL. Ensure all links and assets are loading correctly.
💡 Tips and Tricks
- Use version control 🗃️: Regularly commit your changes to keep track of your progress and easily roll back if needed.
- Automate deployments 🤖: Use CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or Netlify’s built-in CI/CD to automate your deployment process.
- Monitor your site 🔍: Use tools like Google Analytics and Sentry (as mentioned earlier) to monitor site performance and errors.
