Personal Website

This repository contains a static personal website for Sebastian Calonico. It is designed for GitHub Pages and does not require a build step.

Files

• index.html is the publish-ready homepage.
• standard-*.html files are the additional section pages.
• standard-styles.css contains the styling for the standard published site.
• standard-script.js adds the footer year and mobile navigation behavior.
• .nojekyll tells GitHub Pages to serve the site directly as static files.

Best GitHub Setup

The cleanest option is to create a repository named scalonico.github.io. If you do that, the site will publish at:

https://scalonico.github.io/

If you use a different repository name, GitHub Pages will publish it at a project URL such as:

https://scalonico.github.io/repository-name/

Exact Commands

Run these from this folder after creating the GitHub repository:

git init -b main
git add .
git commit -m "Initial personal website"
git remote add origin https://github.com/scalonico/scalonico.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

If the repository already exists and was initialized on GitHub with a README or license, use:

git init -b main
git add .
git commit -m "Initial personal website"
git remote add origin https://github.com/scalonico/scalonico.github.io.git
git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories
git push -u origin main

GitHub Pages Settings

1. Open the repository on GitHub.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Click Pages.
4. Under Build and deployment, choose Deploy from a branch.
5. Select branch main.
6. Select folder / (root).
7. Click Save.

GitHub usually publishes within a minute or two. The live URL for a user site repository should be:

https://scalonico.github.io/
