Sebasic is an easy on the eyes IKEA style Jekyll blog for programmers. [view demo]

Inspired by sgolem, and rauchg.com

If you want to create a new blog using sebasic. You can follow these steps after setting up the Jekyll environments:

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/lewisrobbins/sebasic

Move into that directory:

cd sebasic/

Install required gems using bundle:

bundle install

Run the blog in localhost

jekyll serve

Once you successfully run the sebasic blog, you can modify the theme and add posts by yourself, have fun!

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "sebasic"

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

theme: sebasic

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sebasic

⚠️ If you want to publish your site in Github Pages. Change theme: xxx in _config.yml to remote_theme: lewisrobbins/sebasic then push to your github repo (this is important, or you will get an error from github pages that not support the sebasic theme). If you want to test your site locally, you can change that to theme: sebasic and build again.

You can modify the _config.yml to custom your blog.

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 sebasic.gemspec accordingly.

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