This is a personal website repository, the source code that powers someone's online portfolio and blog at chawyehsu.com. It contains all the written content, design files, and configuration needed to build and publish the site on the web. The way it works is fairly straightforward. The owner writes content and updates code in this repository on GitHub. When they push changes, an automated workflow (called GitHub Actions) detects the update, generates the final website files, and sends them to Vercel, which is a hosting platform. From there, Cloudflare sits in front as a middle layer that handles security, caching, and global delivery to visitors. So when someone visits chawyehsu.com, they're actually getting served through this chain: your browser requests from Cloudflare, which pulls from Vercel, which serves what was automatically built from the source code here. The repository is set up so that anyone curious about how the site works can see the whole thing, the author made the decision to open-source their site, which means developers and other builders can learn from or even fork it and use it as a template for their own sites. To do that, someone would clone the repository, install the dependencies using Yarn (a package manager), and run a local development server to see the site running on their own computer before deploying it anywhere. The site is built using a tool called Saber, which handles the work of converting the source files into the final, optimized website that gets served to visitors. If you're interested in building your own portfolio site or want to see how someone else structured theirs, you can browse through this repo and run it locally to experiment with it.
