Development
To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.
Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.
When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, _sass and assets tracked with Git will be bundled.
To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in jekyll-theme-hydure.gemspec accordingly.
