From Code to Cloud: Building a Personal Portfolio with .NET & GitHub Codespaces

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Shows how a .NET portfolio repository (aka.ms/dotnet/codespaces-template) boots a dev environment in ~2 minutes and produces a working site that can be edited and published. Uses GitHub Codespaces to run dotnet restore/build and swa start for live preview, edits come from aboutme.json plus images and project links, and deployment options include Azure Static Web Apps or GitHub Pages. Live demo shows co‑pilot suggestions, minor port/reload hiccups, and a successfully deployed portfolio.
