Tutorial 11: Themes

SWITCHING THEMES IS NOT RECOMMENDED UNTIL FULLY UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!

Minima is not a native GitHub Page theme. It will cause a lot of headaches! See also starting https://youtu.be/NoRS2D-cyko?t=282 for more details.

Themes

1. Find a theme at https://rubygems.org/search?query=jekyll-theme

2. Preview a theme. Example: jekyll-theme-hacker

3. Switch theme in the _config.yml file:

   theme: jekyll-theme-hacker
   

4. Modify Gemfile file:

   source "https://rubygems.org"
   gem "tzinfo-data"
   gem "jekyll", "~> 3.8.5"
   # gem "minima", "~> 2.0"
   gem "jekyll-theme-hacker"
   gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
   # If you have any plugins, put them here!
   group :jekyll_plugins do
     gem "jekyll-feed", "~> 0.6"
   end
   

5. Execute:

   bundle install
   

6. Grep:

   grep layout: *.md *.html */*.md */*.html
   

7. Change all layouts to “default”

8. Next
