Clone the Repository\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/yourusername/my-blog-app.git\ncd my-blog-app\n\n```\n## 2. Setup Environment Variables\n\nBefore running the application, you need to set up the required environment variables. Depending on your environment (Development or Production), you may need to configure specific settings in `appsettings.Development.json` or `appsettings.Production.json`.\n\n### ASP.NET Core Environment\n\n- For **Development** environment:\n  ```bash\n  export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development\n\n- For ** Production** environment:\n```bash\nexport ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production\n```\n\n## 3. Apply Migrations\n```bash\ndotnet ef database update\n```\n\n## 4. Run the Application\n### Local Development:\n```bash\ndotnet run\n```\nNavigate to `http://localhost:5005` on your browser. (This may change depending on your configuration)\n\n### Docker Setup \n```bash\ndocker-compose up --build\n```\n\n## 5. Deployment\n- Set up CI/CD with Azure DevOps\n- Push Docker imaged to Docker Hub(or wherever you choose)\n- Deploy to Azure Web App\n\n## Screenshots\n\n### Home Page\n![Home Page](/MyBlog/Screenshots/home.png)\n\n\n### Post Details\n![Post Details](/MyBlog/Screenshots/post-details.png)\n\n\n### Admin Panel\n![Admin Panel](/MyBlog/Screenshots/admin-panel.png)\n\n\n### Login\n![Login](/MyBlog/Screenshots/login.png)\n\n\n### Update Post\n![Update Post](/MyBlog/Screenshots/update-post.png)\n\n### Project Status \nThis project is no longer open to contributions.
