jekyll-basic-theme

This is a skeleton theme. It is meant to be used as a basis for other themes.

It contains JSON-LD SEO for Google Search (see Intro to structured data) and Open Graph metadata.

On purpose, this theme does not have CSS / SCSS detailed styles, only some basic, example, files.

Development and testing

Download and install locally the required gems by executing in theme's root directory:

bundle config --local set path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install

This theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test it, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using this 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 the theme is released, only the files tracked with Git from:

• _includes
• _layouts
• _pages
• _posts
• _sass
• assets

directories and these files from root directory:

• LICENSE.txt
• README.md
• index.html

will be bundled.

To add a another file or directory to your theme gem, edit the regexp in jekyll-basic-theme.gemspec accordingly.
