Digital Portfolio
A digital portfolio is an authentic, intentional, organic multimedia exhibit of student growth, self-reflection, talent, and achievement - both for oneself and for others (teachers, parents, guardians, colleges, potential employers, etc.)
Create your Digital Portfolio on GitHub[edit]
- To get started, be sure to set up your SSH key as described in Token Allocation.
- Create a new repository on GitHub named <username> .github.io, replacing <username> with your GitHub username. Do not add any files to the repository.
Create your Digital Portfolio on the Server[edit]
1. Create a new directory named Digital Portfolio in your home directory
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ mkdir "Digital Portfolio"
2. Create a link to the new directory from your www directory, which is the only directory from which your web server will serve files
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ cd ~/www
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$www ln -s ~/Digital\ Portfolio "Digital Portfolio"
3. Create a file to set the permissions of both directories to allow the web server read and traverse access
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ emacs setPermissions.sh
Into this file, place:
#!/bin/bash
chmod -R a+rX ~/www ~/Digital\ Portfolio
Save the file and exit emacs.
4. Execute the script anytime that you add a new file
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ ./setPermissions.sh
5. Create an index.html File
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ emacs setPermissions.sh
Into this file, place:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello, world!</p>
</body>
</html>
Save the file and exit emacs.
6. Create a .gitignore File
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ emacs .gitignore
Into this file, place:
*.sh
Save the file and exit emacs.
7. Add and commit the files
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ git add .gitignore index.html
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ git commit -m "First commit"
8. Add the GitHub remote location as an origin for the local repository
jane-williams@codermerlin:~$ git remote add origin git@github.com: <username> / <username> .github.io.git
