Personal Portfolio Setup Guide

This document contains the technical details of the Jekyll setup for devanshu06.github.io. This file is named .md but not tracked as a page/post, so it won’t appear on your site.

Core Configuration

Theme: Minimal Mistakes (Remote Theme).
Skin: default.
Collections:
- projects: Defined in _config.yml. Files are stored in _projects/.
- posts: Standard Jekyll blog posts stored in _posts/.

Custom Styling & UI Fixes

All custom CSS is located in _includes/head/custom.html. Current hacks include:

Hiding Navigation: Previous/Next buttons on projects and blogs are hidden via .pagination and .page__nav { display: none !important; }.
Hiding RSS: Removed RSS icons from the footer.
Favicon: Replaced the profile photo with a terminal icon (assets/images/favicon.svg) with a #00ff00 green stroke.

Features & Integrations

Cloudflare Analytics: Script added to _includes/head/custom.html.
Project Structure:
- projects.md: Uses a Liquid loop to fetch from site.projects.
- _config.yml: defaults are set to ensure wide layout and author_profile: true for all pages.
Future-Dating Fix: If a project or blog post doesn’t show up (404), ensure the date in front matter is not in the future (Jekyll won’t build future-dated posts by default).

Content Management

Adding Projects: Create a new .md file in _projects/. Ensure it has title, excerpt, and date.
Adding Blogs: Create a new .md file in _posts/ with the format YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.

Troubleshooting

Missing Projects: Check _config.yml to ensure the projects collection is defined under collections:.
Broken Links: Check permalink settings in front matter vs. the blog_url used in project files.
