Gallery

A visual portfolio generator with web hosting for your mockups and photo albums. Requires no 3rd party libraries or installations. A free Squarespace alternative for your photos. Live demo at http://andyzhang.net/gallery.

This template has been forked from the following repository: https://github.com/andyzg/gallery

Making your own gallery in less than 5 minutes

  • Fork this repository
  • Clone the repository through terminal by running git clone git@github.com:{YOUR_USERNAME}/gallery.git
  • Replace contents of /photos with all of your albums. For each of your albums, create a folder with the same name as your album name, and then put all of your photos in the folder. Example:
/photos
  /mockups
    IMG_0123.jpg
    IMG_0124.jpg
  /portrait
    IMG_1234.jpg
    IMG_1235.jpg
  • Open the folder in finder and run setup.command. This will go through all of your albums and create a config.json file for you. This file allows the generator to know which photos will be hosted on your website.
  • Personalize the contents at the bottom of _config.yml.
  • Commit and push all of your changes to Github.
  • Check out your site at {username}.github.io/gallery!

Important notes: To speed up the loading time of your gallery, please make sure to compress your images. If you're running this on a macOS system, this is done automatically for you using sips!
