A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hello there!
I have tried to create a *portfolio website using KMP - Kobweb*. Link: <https://github.com/Phantom-VK/MyPortfolio>
I am Using *IntelliJ IDEA* for development.
I want to deploy this website on github pages.

*To deploy the project:*
-&gt; I built the project , after successful build I copied content from '*/MyPortfolio/site/build/dist/js/productionExecutable'*
to /docs folder in root directory as it is said in github pages to do.
-&gt;Website is getting deployed on pages but i'm seeing a blank white page or it is showing the content of README.md file from /docs.

Web is working on localhost.

Is there any other way to do so? Or am I doing any mistake?

Eventually, I solved it myself:sweat_smile:
Found another way to export and deploy website.
So what I did is, first exported the project using this command in terminal:

*kobweb export --layout static*

and after that a new directory gets created in
For me: */MyPortfolio/site/.kobweb/site*
Copied all the content of that folder and pasted it to
/*MyPortfolio/docs* folder (and pushed to github)

/*MyPortfolio/docs* is the directory from which github pages will take out resources and deploy the web u created.

BTW I've come to recommend using a GitHub workflow instead, so you don't have to manually push your site to github. You can read more about that here: &lt;<https://bitspittle.dev/blog/2022/static-deploy#github-pages>&gt;

Also if you're using GitHub Pages, don't forget to set the route prefix!

(In other words, here: <https://github.com/Phantom-VK/MyPortfolio/blob/a8ad2272b70faeb373edcb3ca5ced27c64feb2e6/site/.kobweb/conf.yaml#L3> add `routePrefix: MyPortfolio`)

(You can read more about the routePrefix option <https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-your-sites-route-prefix|in the README>)

And finally -- congratulations on working on your portfolio site and getting it live! It's a great experience.

<@U02AB5P2XU6> Thank you for your attention and valuable response sir:smile:.
Will surely go throughout all the resources you mentioned!

Edit:
I noticed importance of workflow:
I dont need to export manually in my IDE and then copy paste content to a folder and then push to github.

workflow.yml file automates it for us. We just need to do changes and push to github, it'll automatically do export and deploy for us.

I actually hated web development before, that's why I chose android development for projects.

Now this new framework changed my interest 180° . It's rlly awesome and easy to create website with Kobweb.
I was thinking to write a research paper on KMP and all these stuff. For better resume and to help others.

I made this framework for users like you :slightly_smiling_face: I really liked what Compose HTML was doing and wanted to make it easier to use.

When you feel like you're ready to announce your final portfolio, feel free to start a new thread here or link to it on the Discord.

Ofcourse I will!! 
I would like to do any help that I can do!
also I had many questions actually :sweat_smile:.
(Sorry if I talk too much:sweat_smile:.)

No way, you don't talk too much! And questions are welcome. They help me see where my docs are missing, and they help others too who can search for the answers.
