Installation

If you're running Jekyll v3.5+ and self-hosting you can quickly install the theme as a Ruby gem. If you're hosting with GitHub Pages you can install as a remote theme or directly copy all of the files into your project.

First have a index.html in your root folder, containing:

---
layout: home
paginate: true
---

then:

Ruby Gem Method

  1. Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:
   gem "jekyll-theme-gaeblogx"
  1. Add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml file:
   theme: jekyll-theme-gaeblogx
  1. Then run Bundler to install the theme gem and dependencies:
   bundle install

GitHub Pages Method

GitHub Pages has added full support for any GitHub-hosted theme.

  1. Replace gem "jekyll" with:
   gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

  1. Run bundle update and verify that all gems install properly.

  2. Add remote_theme: "SeraphRoy/GaeBlogx" to your _config.yml file. Remove any other theme: or remote_theme: entries.

Notes

Please specify Agolia specific configs in _config.yml, and other settings as well.

Specify blogname, blogabout, in _config.yml

You can create your own about page using about layout
