Storing and managing your favorite gifs can be a delightful yet daunting task. This blog will guide you through creating your own gif storage repository, contributing to existing ones, and troubleshooting common issues along the way.

What is Gif Storage?

Gif storage is essentially a curated place where you can keep all your favorite gifs organized and easily accessible. Think of it as your personal library of animated treasures, perfect for sharing on social media, messaging, or just for your own enjoyment.

How to Curate Your Own Gif Library

Setting up your own gif library is simple and fun! Here’s how you can do it:

• Fork the Repository: Start by forking the original gif repository to your own account. This will create your own copy that you can modify and expand as you see fit. You can find the original repository here.
• Host Your Own Site: Once you’ve forked it, you can create your own GitHub Pages site, which is a fabulous way to showcase your gifs. You can follow the example of the original site’s GH Pages site.
• Updating the Site Index: To keep your site fresh, you’ll need to update the site index. Clone the project to your local machine, navigate into the repo in terminal, and run scriptbuild_site_index. Don’t forget to commit your changes to the gh-pages branch!

Contributing Gifs

If you come across a gif that you think deserves a home in your library, you can contribute to the repository by making a pull request. However, be selective, as the goal is to curate gifs that are personally desirable. If your gif suggestion isn’t accepted, you can always fork the repository and add those gems to your own library!

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine your gifs as fruits in a grocery store. The original repository is the main store, and when you fork it, you’re opening your own little corner shop. You decide which fruits (gifs) you want to display on your shelves based on your tastes. The process of running scriptbuild_site_index is like restocking your shelves. You check your inventory (gifs) and make sure that everything is in the right place for your customers (viewers) to see.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, things might not go as planned during your gif storage journey. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Build Failures: If your build fails on Travis CI, try deleting the Gemfile.lock file and rebuild it by running bundle install followed by bundle update.
• Gifs Not Showing Up: If gifs are absent on your hosted version, ensure that you’ve updated the site index by running scriptbuild_site_index.
