In plain English

Dopefolio is a free, open-source portfolio website template built for developers who want to showcase their work online. It is a multi-page site built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SASS, which is a tool that adds features to standard CSS and compiles it down to regular CSS. No external frameworks or libraries are required, which keeps the site fast and the setup simple. It was listed as one of the hottest frontend tools of 2021 by CSS-Tricks. Customizing the template follows a clear sequence. First, you pick a color theme by changing one variable in a SASS file, and the whole site updates to match. A playground link is provided so you can preview the color options before committing. Then you work through each HTML file section by section, swapping in your own name, photo, job title, bio, skills, project descriptions, and social media links. The README walks through each section with the exact HTML to edit. The template covers a homepage with a header, hero section, about section, skills list, projects section, and a contact form. There are also separate pages for individual project details and a general projects list. Each page is fully responsive, meaning it adjusts its layout for mobile screens as well as desktops. Setup requires Node.js to be installed so you can run the SASS compiler. After cloning the repository and installing dependencies with npm, a single command watches for changes to the SASS files and recompiles them automatically. You then open the index.html file in a browser or with a live server tool to see your changes as you make them. The template is open-source and free to use. A live demo is available at the link provided in the README.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm customizing dopefolio. Show me which SASS variable controls the site color theme and how to add a secondary accent color without breaking the existing layout.
Prompt 2
Using dopefolio as a base, add a working dark mode toggle with a CSS custom property switch and a small vanilla JavaScript event listener.
Prompt 3
I've finished editing my dopefolio template locally. Walk me through deploying it to GitHub Pages so it's live at my username.github.io.
