Why do you need a portfolio? ☝️

  • Professional way to showcase your work
  • Increases your visibility and online presence
  • better chance of getting work opportunity

Getting Started 🚀

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites 📋

You’ll need Git and Node.js (which comes with NPM) installed on your computer.

Also, you can use Yarn instead of NPM ☝️

Setup 🔧

From your command line, first clone Dev Portfolio:

# Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/mayankagarwal09/dev-portfolio

# Move into the repository
$ cd dev-portfolio

# Remove the current origin repository
$ git remote remove origin

After that, you can install the dependencies either using NPM or Yarn.

Using NPM: Simply run the below commands.

# Install dependencies
$ npm install --force

# Start the development server
$ npm start

Using Yarn: Be aware of that you’ll need to delete the package-lock.json file if exists before executing the below commands.

# Install dependencies
$ yarn

# Start the development server
$ yarn start

Once your server has started, go to this url http://localhost:3000/ to see the portfolio locally. The page will reload if you make edits.
