Customising the Site

Personal Details

Edit _config.yml — update name, description, url, author, and social links.

Pages

• About — _pages/about.md
• CV — _pages/cv.md (Experience/Education are left as HTML comments to fill in with real details)
• Projects — _pages/projects.md (links to real GitHub repositories)

Blog Posts

Add Markdown files to _posts/ following the naming convention YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.

Navigation

Edit _data/navigation.yml to add, remove, or reorder navigation links.

Styling

Custom CSS lives in _includes/head/custom.html. The site uses the Minimal Mistakes default skin — other skins (dark, mint, air, etc.) can be set via minimal_mistakes_skin in _config.yml.

Images

Place images in assets/images/. Update author.avatar in _config.yml to point to your bio photo. The commented-out teaser, logo, and og_image options in _config.yml can be re-enabled once the corresponding image files are added.

---

Deployment

The site deploys automatically to GitHub Pages on every push to the master branch. No additional CI configuration is needed — GitHub Pages detects the Jekyll source and builds it with the github-pages gem.

---

Setup Guide

PORTFOLIO_SETUP.md in the repository root contains detailed notes on optional features: analytics, comments (Giscus), social preview images, and colour customisation.
