This checklist must be completed by every new Sevaka during onboarding.

1. GitHub Profile Image​

Your GitHub profile picture is used across all opsZero sites.

Steps​

  1. Open your GitHub profile
  2. Upload a clear headshot
  3. Verify your image loads using:
https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME.png

2. Add Yourself to authors.yml (Blog)​

Update this file:

blog/authors.yml

Format​

yourgithubusername:
  name: Your Full Name
  title: Your Role @ opsZero
  url: https://github.com/yourgithubusername
  image_url: https://github.com/yourgithubusername.png
  page: true
  socials:
    github: yourgithubusername
    linkedin: yourlinkedinusername

3. Add Yourself to authors.ts (About Page)​

Update this file:

src/data/authors.ts

Format​

yourgithubusername: {
  name: "Your Full Name",
  title: "Your Role @ opsZero",
  url: "https://github.com/yourgithubusername",
  image_url: "https://github.com/yourgithubusername.png",
  page: true,
  socials: {
    github: "yourgithubusername",
    linkedin: "yourlinkedinusername",
  },
},

4. Blog Author Field​

Every blog post must include:

authors: [yourgithubusername]

Do NOT use deprecated fields:

author:
author_name:

5. Verify Your Profile​

Run the site:

npm start

Then open:

http://localhost:3000/about

Confirm​

  • Your image loads
  • Your name and title are correct
  • Clicking your profile opens your author page

URL pattern:

/blog/authors/yourgithubusername

Once everything looks correct:

  • Commit your changes
  • Push to GitHub
