And then execute:

$ bundle

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Then add a css/main.scss file based on the following template, don't forget to include the frontmatter:

---
---

@import "minima";

You can choose to override the _includes/head.html file to specify a custom style path.

To test your theme, run bundle exec rake preview and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme and the contents of the example/ directory. As you make modifications to your theme and to the example site, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh.
