hugolnx.github.io

This is the repository for my game developer portfolio website. You can fork it and use, but please keep the credits at the footer.

Technologies Used

• Front-end:
  • Vike + Vue.js (https://vuejs.org/)
  • Babel (https://babeljs.io/)
  • Sass (https://sass-lang.com/guide/)
• Package manager: npm (https://www.npmjs.com/)

Features

• No Server: Doesn't need a server, any CDN hosting will do.
• SEO: All pages are pre-rendered, so the first request get the whole content.
• Performance: After the first request, it's a common single page application.
• Integrated with Github Pages

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hugolnx/hugolnx.github.io.git

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Development

1. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

   This will start a local server at http://localhost:3000

2. Make code changes and watch the browser reload automatically.

Deploy

1. Configure Github Pages to deploy from the branch gh-pages.

2. Push to main.

3. Check if your deploy succeeded in your Repository's Actions Page.

Tasks

• Emulate final build being served

  npm run emulate

• Force deploy (works with any branch) By default only the branch main is deployed on push, but with this task you can force it to deploy the current branch.

  npm run force-deploy

Build

To build the production-ready version of the website, run:

npm run build

The built files will be placed in the dist folder. You can deploy the contents of this folder to your web server.

Google Search Console

You can verify your website on Google Search Console via metatag verification. To test that, put your metatag token (generated by google) into .env file as the env var VITE_GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION. Then, when you run serve the app it should have the metatag there.

To make it work in github pages you just need to register VITE_GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION at your github repository as a secret.

Issues

• LFS Bandwidth / Storage Limit: Avoid having useless videos and images in the repository because every deploy makes a full clone, which consumes LFS bandwidth. Github gives 1GB of LFS bandwidth per month for free, so if you have 50mb on LFS you'll be able to do 20 deploys per month.
