Personal homepage — Yichong (Eric) Zhao

A static, single-page academic homepage. No build step, no framework — just index.html + assets/. Edit the files directly and push.

cd personal_hp
python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000

Deploy to GitHub Pages (user site)

Intended to live in a repo named ekkkkki.github.io, served at https://ekkkkki.github.io/.

git init -b main
git add -A
git commit -m "Add personal homepage"
gh repo create ekkkkki.github.io --public --source=. --remote=origin --push

Then in the repo: Settings → Pages → Build and deployment → Source: Deploy from a branch, branch main / / (root). The site goes live in a minute or two.

Assets / photo

• The circular avatar is assets/profile.jpg (a square crop of the original).
• The uncropped original is kept locally as assets/profile.jpeg but is git-ignored, so it is not published. To re-crop, edit the box in the crop snippet and regenerate profile.jpg.
• The CV PDF is intentionally not included on the site.

Customize

• Colors / fonts — CSS variables at the top of assets/style.css (--accent, --bg, fonts, …). Dark mode is automatic via prefers-color-scheme.
• Content — all text lives in index.html, organized into clearly labeled <section> blocks (About, Publications & Talks, Experience, Education, Projects, Honors).
