Getting started with your first portfolio - Part 1: Creating index.html

  1. Create a directory called <GH Username>.github.io
  2. Create a new file called index.html under the new directory

  3. Type the following snippet into index.html

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8" />
 <title>My Portfolio</title>
</head>
<body>
 <h1>Hello! My name is [name] ✌️</h1>
</body>
</html>

  4. Now, we are going to see how our code looks on the browser. In your terminal, navigate to your <GH Username>.github.io directory, and type in open index.html - this will allow you to see your changes by automatically opening a tab on your browser for your html file.

  5. Alternatively: open Chrome, and press Ctrl + O on Windows/Linux or Cmd + O on Mac to open the file explorer dialog box. Then, navigate to your <GH Username>.github.io directory and open the index.html file
  6. You will see something like this on your browser

  7. When you make any changes to index.html, you can refresh the newly-opened tab to see your changes. Add the following into the h1 tag:

    <h1>Hello! My name is [name] ✌️, welcome to my portfolio :)</h1>

  8. When you refresh the page, you should see
