Deployment Guide

This guide will help you deploy your portfolio website to various hosting platforms.

🚀 GitHub Pages Deployment

1. Push to GitHub

# Initialize git repository (if not already done)
git init

# Add all files
git add .

# Commit changes
git commit -m "Initial commit: Portfolio website"

# Add remote origin (replace with your GitHub repo URL)
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git

# Push to GitHub
git push -u origin main

2. Enable GitHub Pages

  1. Go to your GitHub repository
  2. Click on "Settings" tab
  3. Scroll down to "Pages" section
  4. Select "Deploy from a branch"
  5. Choose "main" branch and "/ (root)" folder
  6. Click "Save"

3. Set Environment Variables

For GitHub Pages, you'll need to set environment variables in your build process or use a different approach since GitHub Pages doesn't support server-side environment variables.

🌐 Netlify Deployment

1. Build and Deploy

# Build the project
npm run build

# Deploy the dist folder to Netlify

2. Set Environment Variables

  1. Go to your Netlify dashboard
  2. Select your site
  3. Go to "Site settings" > "Environment variables"
  4. Add your EmailJS variables:
    • VITE_EMAILJS_PUBLIC_KEY
    • VITE_EMAILJS_SERVICE_ID
    • VITE_EMAILJS_TEMPLATE_ID

🔧 Vercel Deployment

# Deploy
vercel

2. Set Environment Variables

  1. Go to your Vercel dashboard
  2. Select your project

📝 Important Notes

  • Environment Variables: Make sure to set your EmailJS credentials in your hosting platform
  • Build Command: Use npm run build to create the production build
  • Output Directory: The build output is in the dist folder
  • HTTPS: Most hosting platforms provide HTTPS by default, which is required for EmailJS

🐛 Troubleshooting
