 Project Readme

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.
