I want to update my profile

That's fairly easy if you know how to use Git ! If not, there's no shame at all, just ask someone from Greaaat, we're here to help each other after all 😎

• Start by forking the adriantombu/the-greaaat-gatsby repository
• Create a new git branch to work on your modifications
• You can find the data of your profile in the src/data/freelances directory. As you can see, these are Markdown files !
• When you're happy with your changes, just commit your changes, push your branch and start a new pull request
• Once your pull request has been approved and merged in the master branch, your modifications will be automagically deployed!

I don't have a profile page, how can I add one ?

For this you will need a small text about yourself and a squared picture of your lovely face (a size of 500x500 max should be perfect). For the purpose of this little tutorial, let's say that your name is Georges Abitbol.

• Start by forking the adriantombu/the-greaaat-gatsby repository
• Create a new git branch to work on your modifications. Let's say profile/georges-abitbol for example.
• Go to the static/freelances/ directory and put your squared profile pic in it, with the name georges-abitbol.jpg
• Go to the src/data/freelances/ directory, duplicate any file there, and rename it to georges-abitbol.md
• The following fields are mandatory, so you need to fill them with the proper informations: title, position, city, website, picture, slug, seoTitle, seoDescription
• The other fields are optional. If you don't need them to be displayed on your profile, just put xxx and you're good to go.
• You can write your description in Markdown format just under the --- after the fields
• When you're done with your profile page, go to the src/data/prestations directory, and open any of the file where you want to add your name. Georges Abitbol is a well reknown Marketing Expert, so he adds his name in the freelances field of the experts-marketing.md file.
• When you're happy with your changes, just commit your changes, push your branch and start a new pull request
• Once your pull request has been approved and merged in the master branch, your modifications will be automagically deployed!

What's the purpose of the fields on my profile

• title is basically your name, and is reused in the src/data/prestations files to make the relation with your profile
• position is what your do in your professional life
• city, welll... where you are from
• website do I really need to explain ?
• picture is the filename used for your profile pic in the static/freelances/ directory
• slug represents the url of your profile, in the format https://greaaat.com/freelances/${slug}
• seoTitle is the information displayed in the html <title> tag of your profile
• seoDescription is the information that lays in the <meta name="description" content="" /> tag of your profile
• The other fields represents the url of your different social network profiles
