This guide helps you customize the repository after forking it to your own GitHub account.
When you fork this repository, you'll need to update a few placeholder values to make the deploy buttons and documentation work correctly.
Replace these placeholders in the following files with your actual GitHub information:
YOUR_USERNAMEβ your GitHub usernameYOUR_REPO_NAMEβ your repository name (probablypastebinorsecure-pastebin)
# Find and replace in README.md
sed -i 's/YOUR_USERNAME/your-github-username/g' README.md
sed -i 's/YOUR_REPO_NAME/your-repo-name/g' README.md# Find and replace in DEPLOYMENT.md
sed -i 's/YOUR_USERNAME/your-github-username/g' DEPLOYMENT.md
sed -i 's/YOUR_REPO_NAME/your-repo-name/g' DEPLOYMENT.md# Find and replace in package.json
sed -i 's/YOUR_USERNAME/your-github-username/g' package.json
sed -i 's/YOUR_REPO_NAME/your-repo-name/g' package.jsonYou can run this script to update all files at once:
#!/bin/bash
# Replace with your actual values
GITHUB_USERNAME="your-github-username"
REPO_NAME="your-repo-name"
# Update all files
sed -i "s/YOUR_USERNAME/$GITHUB_USERNAME/g" README.md DEPLOYMENT.md package.json CONTRIBUTING.md SECURITY.md
sed -i "s/YOUR_REPO_NAME/$REPO_NAME/g" README.md DEPLOYMENT.md package.json CONTRIBUTING.md SECURITY.md
echo "β
Repository customized for $GITHUB_USERNAME/$REPO_NAME"After updating the placeholders, your deploy button should work:
git add .
git commit -m "π Customize repository for my GitHub account"

- One-click deploy will work from your repository
