Update README with comprehensive instructions for viewing portfolio output

[Copilot]

Problem

The README contained placeholder text (your-repo-name) instead of the actual repository name, and lacked clear instructions for users asking "how can I see the output" of the portfolio website.

Solution

Updated the README.md "How to Use / Run Locally" section with comprehensive viewing instructions:

Key Changes:

1. Fixed placeholder repository references

   • Changed git clone https://github.com/pragyakuumarimishra/your-repo-name.git to the correct repository URL
   • Updated directory navigation from cd your-repo-name to cd portfolio

2. Highlighted the live deployment (easiest option)

   • Added prominent link to the Vercel-hosted portfolio: https://pragyamishraportfolio25.vercel.app
   • Made it clear this is the quickest way to view the portfolio

3. Provided multiple local viewing methods with detailed instructions:

   • Method A: Direct file opening with OS-specific instructions (Windows/Mac/Linux)
   • Method B: Python HTTP server (includes both Python 2 and Python 3 commands)
   • Method C: Using npx serve for Node.js users
   • Method D: VS Code Live Server extension with step-by-step setup

4. Added troubleshooting section addressing common issues:

   • JavaScript functionality requiring a local server
   • Styles not loading due to incorrect file structure
   • Images not showing due to internet connectivity

Testing

• Verified the portfolio serves correctly using Python HTTP server
• Confirmed all required files (index.html, CSS, JS) are present and accessible
• Validated that the live deployment link is working

Result

Users now have clear, comprehensive instructions for viewing the portfolio with multiple options based on their technical setup and preferences.

Original prompt
