Projects

Add project files in:

You can link both project pages and github repositories. Github repos will autopopulate, pages allow you to provide more details.

By default, the project pages go first, but you can modify this if you want any github repos to show up first.

Project pages can be added by adding markdown files in the _games or _python folders.

Project layouts can be modified in _includes/projects. Refer to the index.html and project-card.html as reference.

See _example_projects folder for more examples from portfolYOU.

As embedding an html is fairly easy, if your projects are stored in a jupter notebook “.ipynb” try convert to html and embedding via the bash script

jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook_name.ipynb

Python notebooks

Generally, you will be linking notebooks that exist in other repositories that are doing analysis. However for any “loose” notebooks, you can store them in the assets/jp_nbs folder.

Altair-saved chart json’s

By default these are saved in assets/json/ and static images are saved in assets/pngs/. See the example
