Editing Your Profile

Profile data (name, bio, profile picture) is stored in data.js and deployed through Git. It is not editable through the website UI — this keeps the profile data version-controlled and reviewed.

Step-by-step guide

1. Fork the repository on GitHub (button in the top-right corner), or ask an officer to grant you direct write access.

2. Edit data.js — find your entry in DEFAULT_MEMBERS:

   { id: 3, name: "Your Name", points: 0, icon: "✈️", bio: "Your bio here." },

   • name — your display name
   • bio — one or two sentences (shown on your profile page)
   • icon — emoji or image path (see below)
   • Do not change id or points

3. Open a Pull Request targeting main. An officer will review and merge it.

4. Once merged, GitHub Pages re-deploys automatically (~60 seconds).

Changing Your Profile Picture

Your icon appears in the leaderboard, Add Points grid, profile page, and Add Points modal. Changing it once in data.js updates all four places.

Option A — Emoji (default)

icon: "🚀"

Any emoji works. Just type it directly.

Option B — Local image file

1. Prepare your photo:

   • Square crop recommended (1:1 aspect ratio)
   • Minimum 200 × 200 px, JPG or PNG
   • File name: firstname-lastname.jpg (no spaces)

2. Add it to the repo in the images/member_pics folder.

3. Update your entry in data.js:

   icon: "images/firstname-lastname.jpg"

4. Include the image file in your Pull Request alongside the data.js change. thresholds, descriptions, icons, and special flags. Submit a PR as usual.
