I got tired of every dev portfolio looking the same, so I built one styled like a terminal
Every portfolio template I found was either a generic "hero + cards" layout or way too flashy for something that's supposed to show my work, not distract from it. So I built one from scratch — single HTML file, no framework, no build step. The whole thing leans into things developers already know: a terminal window in the hero, projects laid out like a file tree, experience styled like a git log.…
Dev.to reports that a developer grew tired of the ubiquitous portfolio templates featuring generic hero sections and flashy designs. In response, they created a unique portfolio styled like a terminal, using a single HTML file without any frameworks or build steps. The portfolio features a terminal window in the hero, projects displayed as a file tree, and experience styled like a git log.
The design is fully responsive, includes three built-in color themes, and has clearly marked editable spots for customization. The creator offers a live demo and the option to sell the portfolio, providing a link for those interested in skipping the building process. They are open to answering questions and accepting feedback from users who try out the portfolio.
