2. Create your own repository from the template
3. Clone your new repository:

```bash

cd <your-repo-name>
````

4. Install dependencies and start the dev server:

cd devfolio-templete
npm install
npm run dev
```

If you’d like to **fix bugs**, **suggest features**, or **submit a pull request**, please see
[CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).


## ⬆️ **Update Your Site Configuration**
>This template uses a **content-driven approach**.
>You only edit simple `.ts` files and `.mdx` files — no need to touch React components.

All global website settings are stored in:

```
src/config/siteConfig.ts
```

You can edit:
* name & tagline
* social links
* navigation menu
* footer text
* about content

The website will automatically update everywhere after modifying this file.

### 🎨 **Customization — Theme Presets & Colors**
---

This template includes 8 customizable **theme presets** you can switch between in `src/config/siteConfig.ts`:
```
siteColorTheme: "teal"
```


Available presets:
```
blue • green • purple • pink • orange • red • yellow • teal
```

To modify or add new themes, edit:
```
src/config/themePresets.ts
```

Each theme controls the full color system (accent, hover, borders, backgrounds, etc.).


### 🧩 Adding Projects
---

Projects are stored here:

```
src/contents/projects.ts
```

Each project takes a typed object (types are optional & documented in `src/types/index.ts`):

```ts
{
  title: "My Cool Project",
  description: "...",
  tags: ["Next.js", "TypeScript"],
  demoUrl: "https://...",
  codeUrl: "https://..."
}
```


### 📚 Adding Blog Content (MDX)
---
All blog content in Devfolio is powered by MDX and uses the file system as the single source of truth.

Blog post live here:

```
src/contents/blogs/
```

Each blog must be a its own unique `.mdx` file:
The filename becomes the blog slug
```
/src/contents/posts/my-first-post.mdx
```
### Metadata

At the top of the MDX file, include metadata. 

**Required fields**
* `title` – string
* `summary` – string (used for blog cards)
* `date` – string (ISO format recommended)

**Optional fields**
* `tags` – string[]
* `readTime` – string
* `lastUpdated` – string

Example:

```mdx
---
title: "My First Post"
summary: "A short summary of the blog post."
date: "2025-01-01"
tags: ["Career", "Education"]
readTime: "6 min read"
lastUpdated: "2025-05-01"
---

# My First Post

Your article content goes here.  
MDX allows you to mix Markdown with React components.
```


### How Blogs Are Generated

* Blog metadata is **automatically extracted** from MDX frontmatter
* Blog cards and blog pages are generated at **build time**
* No manual blog list or config file is required
* Invalid or missing metadata will throw a **helpful error during build**

🔹 **Important notes**

* Every blog must have its own `.mdx` file
* Do not manually add blog metadata anywhere else


## ✉️ **Contact Form Setup (Resend API)**

>**Contact form is optional to use**

The contact form sends emails through **Resend**.

 1. Create a free Resend account
    - ➡ [https://resend.com](https://resend.com)
 2. Create an API key
 3. Add an `.env` file:

```
RESEND_API_KEY=your_resend_key_here
```
 4. Configure your Resend data in `src/config/siteConfig.ts`
```
resend: {
        fromEmail: "", 
        toEmail: "",
    },
```
 4. Your route is already set up here:

```
src/app/api/contact/route.ts
```
* no changes needed in this file

The form will work automatically once the API key is configured.



## ☁️ **Deployment (Vercel)**

1. Commit and push your code to GitHub

2. Go to Vercel → "New Project"

3. Select your GitHub repo

4. Add environment variables if using Contact Form (important!) 
```
RESEND_API_KEY=your_resend_key_here
```
5. Deploy
    - Vercel will automatically handle build, routing, and optimization.
