✨ Changes

I have made some changes to the Gatsby Start Portfolio to personalise it and add some features which I desired.

I have left the rest of the README the same to reflect the repo which I have cloned.

Gatsby Starter Portfolio: Cara

Playful and Colorful One-Page portfolio featuring Parallax effects and animations. Using the Gatsby Theme @lekoarts/gatsby-theme-cara.

Demo Website

Also be sure to check out other Free & Open Source Gatsby Themes and my Personal Website.

✨ Features

• Theme UI-based theming
• react-spring Parallax Effect
• CSS Animations on Shapes

🚀 Getting Started

1. Create a Gatsby site.

Use git to clone the site and navigate into it:

git clone https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-portfolio-cara project-name
cd project-name

2. Install dependencies.

If you use npm 7 or above use the --legacy-peer-deps flag. If you use npm 6 you can use npm install.

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

3. Open the code and start customizing!

Start the site by running npm run develop.

Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

If you want to learn more about how you can use a Gatsby starter that is configured with a Gatsby theme, you can check out this shorter or longer tutorial. The tutorials don't exactly apply to this starter however the concepts are the same.

4. Building for deploying to github pages

All the configuration changes to deploy and run via gh-pages has been completed - to deploy to your github pages simply run:

npm run deploy

📝 Using and modifying this starter

Important Note: Please read the guide Shadowing in Gatsby Themes to understand how to customize the underlying theme!

This starter creates a new Gatsby site that installs and configures the theme @lekoarts/gatsby-theme-cara.

Have a look at the theme's README and files to see what options are available and how you can shadow the various components including Theme UI. Generally speaking you will want to place your files into src/@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-cara/ to shadow/override files. The Theme UI config can be configured by shadowing its files in src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/.

Changing content

The content of this project is defined in four .mdx files inside the theme's sections folder. You can override the files intro.mdx, projects.mdx, about.mdx and contact.mdx. This starter has overridden all files for you already.

You have to use the <ProjectCard /> component inside projects.mdx to display the cards. Example:

## Projects

<ProjectCard title="Freiheit" link="https://www.behance.net/gallery/58937147/Freiheit" bg="linear-gradient(to right, #D4145A 0%, #FBB03B 100%)">
This project is my entry to Adobe's #ChallengeYourPerspective contest.
</ProjectCard>

Change your static folder

The static folder contains the icons, social media images and robots.txt. Don't forget to change these files, too! You can use Real Favicon Generator to generate the image files inside static.

Themes

To learn more about Gatsby themes specifically, I recommend checking out the theme docs.

General

• For most developers, I recommend starting with the in-depth tutorial for creating a site with Gatsby. It starts with zero assumptions about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.

• To dive straight into code samples, head to Gatsby's documentation. In particular, check out the How-to Guides and Reference items in the primary navigation.
