No framework or build tools required.

1. Clone

   git clone https://github.com/Sean-Stilwell/Sean-Stilwell.github.io.git
   cd Sean-Stilwell.github.io

2. Serve locally

• Using Python 3:

  python3 -m http.server 8000

  Open your browser to http://localhost:8000

  npx http-server -p 8000

  Open your browser to http://localhost:8000

You can also just open index.html or index-fr.html directly in your browser.

Deployment

This is a user site (.github.io), so GitHub Pages serves from the repository’s default branch root. After pushing to master/main, Pages will update automatically.

• Custom domain: managed via the CNAME file. Update its contents to change the domain.
• HTTPS: enable/verify in Repo → Settings → Pages.
