What is gitfolio?

Gitfolio is a command-line tool that generates a personal website and blog for any GitHub user. You give it your GitHub username and it pulls your repository list from GitHub, then builds a static website displaying your projects as cards. The output goes into a folder on your computer that you can then push to GitHub Pages to publish it for free at the standard GitHub Pages URL for your account. The tool is installed as a global npm package and can be run from the terminal or through a simple browser-based UI. The UI is helpful for two things in particular: creating blog posts and triggering updates to your site when your GitHub profile changes. Blog posts are written through the UI and saved as files inside the output folder. Each post gets a card on the homepage that links to the full post. Customization options are set as flags when running the build command. You can choose between a light and dark theme, provide a custom background image URL, sort your repositories by star count, creation date, or update date, and include or exclude forked repositories. Social media links for Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, and Dribbble can also be added. Further visual changes are possible by editing the generated CSS file directly. The README notes that this version is archived in anticipation of a version 2 release, so active development on it has stopped. It still works as documented, but no new features or bug fixes are expected on this branch. The project requires Node.js and npm to install and run.
