About

This is my personal blog and portfolio website built with Zola, a fast static site generator written in Rust. The site uses the Boring theme for a clean, minimal design.

Features

• Fast Performance: Built with Zola for lightning-fast build times
• Modern Design: Clean, responsive design using the Boring theme
• GitHub Pages: Automatically deployed via GitHub Actions
• Custom Domain: Hosted at bitbra.in
• Search: Built-in search functionality
• Syntax Highlighting: Code blocks with syntax highlighting

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Zola installed on your system

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bitbrain/bitbrain.github.io.git
   cd bitbrain.github.io
   

2. Start the development server:

   zola serve
   

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:1111

Building for Production

To build the site for production:

zola build

The built site will be in the public/ directory.

Deployment

The site is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions. The workflow:

• Triggers on pushes to the master branch
• Builds the site using Zola
• Deploys to the gh-pages branch
• Uses the existing CUSTOM_GITHUB_TOKEN for authentication
