Building a Portfolio with GitHub API

In this tutorial, we will build a modern developer portfolio that fetches live data from your GitHub account. Instead of updating your projects manually, we'll leverage the GitHub REST API so your portfolio always shows your latest repositories in real-time.
We'll cover the following steps:
- Setting up your GitHub API token
- Fetching repository data with JavaScript/Next.js
- Displaying repositories in a grid layout
- Adding animations and interactivity
By the end of this guide, you'll have a fully functional portfolio connected directly to your GitHub profile.
