minimaJake
This project is a fork of the default minima theme that Jekyll uses, aiming to add enough functionality to make minima a realistic choice, without any bloat / nonsense.
About
minimaJake is used to host JakeSteam's personal, programming, and internet history sites.
A live demo is available at minima.jakelee.co.uk, and a full guide to all launch features is available in the announcement post.
How to use
The easiest way is to just copy the _config.yml
from one of the blogs using this theme, updating the name / accent colour etc as desired.
The theme is imported via remote_theme: JakeSteam/minimaJake
in your config.yml
, optionally adding @1.0.12
to specify a release from the releases page.
