Dave Portfolio Site

This repository contains my portfolio website for class assignments.

Purpose

This project shows that I can:

• Build a static website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Use GitHub for version control.
• Publish with GitHub Pages.
• Deploy with GitHub Actions.

Previous Assignment Steps (Initial Website + Pages)

1. Created a public GitHub repository named dave-portfolio-site.
2. Prepared and verified project files (index.html, project pages, CSS, JS).
3. Uploaded files to GitHub and committed changes.
4. Enabled GitHub Pages in repository settings.
5. Verified the live site URL.

Current Assignment Steps (GitHub Actions Deployment)

1. Created .github/workflows/deploy.yml.
2. Added GitHub’s official Pages actions:
   • actions/checkout@v4
   • actions/configure-pages@v5
   • actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3
   • actions/deploy-pages@v4
3. Set workflow triggers:
   • Push to main
   • Manual run with workflow_dispatch
4. Set required permissions:
   • contents: read
   • pages: write
   • id-token: write
5. Set concurrency group pages with cancel-in-progress: false.
6. Set upload path to ./dave-portfolio-site so only website files are published.
7. In Settings → Pages, set Source to GitHub Actions.

How to Trigger Deployment

• Automatic: Push to main.
• Manual: Actions tab → Deploy static content to Pages → Run workflow.

Validation Checklist

1. Commit and push changes.
2. Confirm workflow success in the Actions tab.
3. Open the GitHub Pages URL and verify updates.

Challenges and Fixes

• Branch mismatch (master vs main) → Set workflow trigger to main.
• Avoid publishing non-site files → Upload only ./dave-portfolio-site.
• Pages source not in code → Set it in GitHub UI under Settings → Pages.
