Adding A Project

Adding a Project

Overview

When a new project is created, it needs to be added to both the personal site (arjit-me) and the resume (arjit-resume), then made live.

Locations

• Site projects: ~/repos/arjit-me/lib/projects.ts
• Resume projects: ~/repos/arjit-resume/resume/projects.tex
• Resume PDF: ~/repos/arjit-resume/arjit_jaiswal_resume.pdf (symlinked to ~/Documents/arjit_jaiswal_resume.pdf)

Process

1. Add to `lib/projects.ts` in arjit-me:

• Add a new entry to the projects array
• Set featured: false unless told otherwise
• Use the repo slug for id, but a human-readable name for title on the site is fine either way

2. Add to `resume/projects.tex` in arjit-resume:

• Add a \projectentry{Name}{url}{description}{tech}{date}
• Always use human-readable names, not repo slugs (e.g. "Arjit Skills" not "arjit-skills")
• Keep descriptions concise (one line)
• Insert in chronological order (newest first)

3. Compile the resume PDF:

   cd ~/repos/arjit-resume
   make build

The symlink at ~/Documents/arjit_jaiswal_resume.pdf auto-updates.

4. Push the site live:

   cd ~/repos/arjit-me
   git add lib/projects.ts
   git commit -m "Add <project-name> to projects"
   git push origin main

Rules

• Resume uses human-readable names; site can use either.
• Always compile the PDF after resume changes.
• Always push arjit-me to main to deploy.
