Minima is a one-size-fits-all Jekyll theme for writers. It's Jekyll's default (and first) theme. It's what you get when you run jekyll new
.
Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:
gem "minima"
And add this line to your Jekyll site:
theme: minima
And then execute:
$ bundle

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.
The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
