CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Tech Stack

Personal portfolio site for Alex Dixon at alexdixon.me, served via GitHub Pages.

Built with Jekyll, served via GitHub Pages.

bundle exec jekyll serve   # local dev (http://localhost:4000)
bundle exec jekyll build   # production build → _site/

Deployment & Git Workflow

Push to main → GitHub Pages auto-deploys. Jekyll sites build automatically on GitHub Pages — no CI config needed. Custom domain set via CNAME (alexdixon.me).

Commit often — especially for bug fixes, make a new commit per fix rather than bundling changes. SSH is configured via ~/.ssh/id_ed25519; if push is rejected, run ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 to re-add the key to the agent (required after restarts).

Design Intent

The aesthetic is intentionally minimal. Do not add decorative elements, shadows, gradients, or visual complexity.

• Background: sage green #588157
• Text: white #fff
• Font: Helvetica
• Layout: CSS Grid, 2 equal columns, full-viewport centering (place-items: center; height: 100vh)

Do not change the color palette or introduce JavaScript or additional libraries beyond Jekyll.

Content Structure

Single page with two columns:

• Left: profile image
• Right: name (h1), title/employer (h2), short bio (p)

Content is currently hardcoded in index.html. With Jekyll, it will move to _config.yml or front matter.
