What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
When the repository name is [username].github.io, the repository name is the website address
Supports placing PDFs, zips, and other files in the files/ directory and accessing them via fixed paths
Provides Jupyter notebooks or Python scripts in markdown_generator to generate Markdown for publications and reports from TSV
Supports local preview: after installing ruby-dev, bundler, and nodejs, run jekyll serve
Provides a Dockerfile to build and run the site container without installing local dependencies
Template Details
This is a GitHub Pages template for academic personal websites, with the repository marcusnobrega-eng/profile, a tech stack listed as HTML, and a type of portfolio. It originates from Academic Pages, which in turn is derived from the Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme, so the site is built with Jekyll, organizing pages through configuration files and Markdown content.
The template provides site-level configuration and a content addition workflow: use GitHub's "Use this template" to create a repository, with the repository name recommended as [username].github.io, which also determines the website address; static files (such as PDFs, zips) can be placed in the files/ directory and accessed via the corresponding path. The repository also includes a markdown_generator folder containing Jupyter notebooks or Python scripts that can generate Markdown files for publications and reports from TSV files.
Local preview requires installing ruby-dev, bundler, and nodejs; after running bundle install, run jekyll serve -l -H localhost to view at localhost:4000 with automatic rebuilds; you can also use the Dockerfile provided in the repository to build and run a container. Template maintenance and issue feedback point to the upstream academicpages repository, and the README also notes: if you make extensive customizations on top of the template, syncing upstream updates may cause merge conflicts.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies HTML as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

1. Click the "Use this template" button in the top right.
1. On the "New repository" page, enter your repository name as "[your GitHub username].github.io", which will also be your website's URL.
1. Set site-wide configuration and add your content.
1. Upload any files (like PDFs, .zip files, etc.) to the `files/` directory. They will appear at https://[your GitHub username].github.io/files/example.pdf.
1. Check status by going to the repository settings, in the "GitHub pages" section
1. (Optional) Use the Jupyter notebooks or python scripts in the `markdown_generator` folder to generate markdown files for publications and talks from a TSV file.
See more info at https://academicpages.github.io/
## Running locally
When you are initially working your website, it is very useful to be able to preview the changes locally before pushing them to GitHub. To work locally you will need to:
1. Clone the repository and made updates as detailed above.
1. Make sure you have ruby-dev, bundler, and nodejs installed
On most Linux distribution and [Windows Subsystem Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about) the command is:
```bash
sudo apt install ruby-dev ruby-bundler nodejs
```
On MacOS the commands are:
```bash
brew install ruby
brew install node
gem install bundler
```
1. Run `bundle install` to install ruby dependencies. If you get errors, delete Gemfile.lock and try again.
1. Run `jekyll serve -l -H localhost` to generate the HTML and serve it from `localhost:4000` the local server will automatically rebuild and refresh the pages on change.
If you are running on Linux it may be necessary to install some additional dependencies prior to being able to run locally: `sudo apt install build-essential gcc make`
## Using Docker
Working from a different OS, or just want to avoid installing dependencies? You can use the provided `Dockerfile` to build a container that will run the site for you if you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed.
Start by build the container:
```bash
docker build -t jekyll-site .
```
Next, run the container:
```bash
docker run -p 4000:4000 --rm -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app jekyll-site
```
# Maintenance
Bug reports and feature requests to the template should be [submitted via GitHub](https://github.com/academicpages/academicpages.github.io/issues/new/choose). For questions concerning how to style the template, please feel free to start a [new discussion on GitHub](https://github.com/academicpages/academicpages.github.io/discussions).
This repository was forked (then detached) by [Stuart Geiger](https://github.com/staeiou) from the [Minimal Mistakes Jekyll Theme](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/), which is © 2016 Michael Rose and released under the MIT License (see LICENSE.md). It is currently being maintained by [Robert Zupko](https://github.com/rjzupkoii) and additional maintainers would be welcomed.
## Bugfixes and enhancements
If you have bugfixes and enhancements that you would like to submit as a pull request, you will need to [fork](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo) this repository as opposed to using it as a template. This will also allow you to [synchronize your copy](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/syncing-a-fork) of template to your fork as well.
Unfortunately, one logistical issue with a template theme like Academic Pages that makes it a little tricky to get bug fixes and updates to the core theme. If you use this template and customize it, you will probably get merge conflicts if you attempt to synchronize. If you want to save your various .yml configuration files and markdown files, you can delete the repository and fork it again. Or you can manually patch.
