For MySQL it could be:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON portfolio_resume.* TO 'portfolio_resume'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

git clone https://git.rgou.net/rafaelgou/rgou-pr-laravel.git
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your settings. Must set at least (you can leave default settings for the rest):

# Set to production when deploying

Let's install the dependencies, populate the database and set the public images folder.

composer install
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed
php artisan storage:link

Now let's create your user (it asks for a password):

php artisan backpack:user -N "Your Name" -E "your-email@example.com"

Running

To run locally:

php artisan serve

And you can browse http://localhost:8000 for the homepage and http://localhost:8000/admin for the admin. Use the email/password created before.

To run in production, please follow Laravel instructions.

Using

The admin is pretty simple. Some tips:

• Settings allow you to update email and other settings.
• Skills and Portfolio allows ordering using the Reorder ... button on each listing.
• Education, Experience and Certifications are ordered by newest first.
