Configuration — Alex Carter

The config file

Everything configurable lives in src/config/site.ts. Change values there — no component edits required.

export const siteConfig: SiteConfig = {
  name: 'Alex Carter',
  title: 'Alex Carter — Full-stack Developer',
  description: 'Full-stack developer building fast, scalable web applications.',
  url: 'https://example.com',
  // ...
};

Important: set url to your production domain before deploying — it drives canonical URLs, the sitemap, Open Graph tags, and the RSS feed.

Key sections

Author & socials

author controls the hero, about page, and structured data. social entries are optional — set any of them to undefined (or remove them) and the corresponding icons disappear everywhere automatically.

navigation: [
  { label: 'Home', href: '/' },
  { label: 'Blog', href: '/blog' },
  { label: 'Projects', href: '/projects' },
],

The header and footer both read from this list.

GitHub contribution graph

github: {
  username: 'your-github-username',
},

The heatmap on the homepage fetches this user’s public contribution calendar at build time — no token, no client-side JavaScript. If the fetch fails (offline builds, rate limits) the theme renders deterministic sample data instead of breaking, and labels it as such.

Feature flags

Turn whole sections on or off:

features: {
  blog: true,
  projects: true,
  docs: true,
  search: true,
  githubActivity: true,
  newsletter: false,
  comments: false,
},

Disabled features disappear from the homepage; remove their entries from navigation to hide them from the header too.

Stats

Homepage stats are plain config values — no third-party API calls:

stats: [
  { label: 'GitHub stars', value: '4.2k' },
  { label: 'Years of experience', value: '8' },
],

Career data

Experience, education, and certifications for the About and Resume pages live in src/config/resume.ts, typed and in one place.
