Jekyll Theme Simpleton

Table of Contents

About

Just my personal simplistic theme for when I really don't care about style.

Instructions

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-theme-simpleton"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jekyll-theme-simpleton

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install jekyll-theme-simpleton

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-simpleton.gemspec accordingly.

Usage

The whole idea is having no theme specific configurations ... enjoy!

Add menu_weight: <number> to your front matter if you want to control the order of menu entries. The higher the weight the lower the item will appear. Weightless items appear always after weighted items

Hidden Menu Items

Add hidden: true to your front matter if you want to hide the page from the menu.

License

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

Is it any good?

Yes.
