Project Overview

• Personal academic homepage highlighting research, publications, and projects.
• Built with the Hugo Blox Academic CV template (Hugo v0.152.1, Tailwind CSS v4) and deployed via GitHub Pages.

Live Site & Preview

• Production: https://alexgabel.github.io
• Optional: add a landing-page screenshot under .github/preview.webp and reference it here if desired.

Features & Highlights

• Biography, CV download, publications, projects, experience timeline, blog posts, and talks.
• BibTeX-driven publication import, automatic dark/light mode, custom navbar logo, privacy-friendly defaults.

Local Development

• Requirements: Hugo Extended ≥ v0.152.1, Node.js ≥ 18, pnpm (or npm) for Tailwind utilities.
• Setup:

  git clone https://github.com/alexgabel/alexgabel.github.io.git
  cd alexgabel.github.io
  pnpm install
  pnpm dev      # runs `hugo server --disableFastRender`

• Regenerate assets by removing resources/_gen/ when logos or SCSS change. Import publications with hugoblox import publications --bibtex publications.bib --author admin.

Deployment Workflow

• Continuous deployment via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) on pushes to main.
• Manual hugoblox-import workflow ingests publications.bib, commits generated content, and triggers the deploy pipeline.
• For local publishing, run pnpm build (or hugo --minify) and serve the public/ folder.

Content Structure

• content/ – Markdown bundles for homepage blocks, publications, projects, blog posts, courses, and events.
• assets/media/ – Logos, icons, and publication/project imagery.
• config/_default/ – Site-wide settings (menus, localization, appearance, parameters).
• data/publications.bib (or repository root) – Source BibTeX file for publication imports.

Customization Notes

• Update navigation labels and footer text in config/_default/menus.yaml and config/_default/params.yaml.
• Adjust color theme and typography via Hugo parameters or Tailwind overrides in assets/scss/custom.scss.
• Ignore .bib files during Hugo builds by ensuring ignoreFiles includes \.bib$ in config/_default/hugo.yaml.
