popfolio

As of April 2023, I'm refocusing on some of my old work that needs some attention, including this theme. Updates are coming over the next few weeks.

Popfolio is a simple, easily configurable portfolio theme that you can use to introduce yourself and display your work. This theme is still very young and will be updated with more features as time goes on. Configuration instructions coming soon.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "popfolio"

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

theme: popfolio

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install popfolio

Documentation coming soon (as of April 2023).

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome in the popfolio GitHub repo. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

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 popfolio.gemspec accordingly.

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