Jekyll-Minima with Bootstrap5 Boilerplate Template

Minima is a one-size-fits-all Jekyll theme for writers. It's Jekyll's default (and first) theme. It's what you get when you run jekyll new.

This repository can be used as a boilerplate template for create Bootstrap 5 websites using Jekyll Website Builder.

Theme preview

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "minima"

And then execute:

bundle

Contents At-A-Glance

Minima has been scaffolded by the jekyll new-theme command and therefore has all the necessary files and directories to have a new Jekyll site up and running with zero-configuration.

Layouts

Refers to files within the _layouts directory, that define the markup for your theme.

  • default.html — The base layout that lays the foundation for subsequent layouts. The derived layouts inject their contents into this file at the line that says {{ content }} and are linked to this file via FrontMatter declaration layout: default.
  • page.html — The layout for your documents that contain FrontMatter, but are not posts.
  • post.html — The layout for your posts.

Home Layout

home.html is a flexible HTML layout for the site's landing-page / home-page / index-page.

Main Heading and Content-injection

From Minima v2.2 onwards, the home layout will inject all content from your index.md / index.html before the Posts heading. This will allow you to include non-posts related content to be published on the landing page under a dedicated heading. We recommended that you title this section with a Heading2 (##).

Usually the site.title itself would suffice as the implicit 'main-title' for a landing-page. But, if your landing-page would like a heading to be explicitly displayed, then simply define a title variable in the document's front matter and it will be rendered with an <h1> tag.

Post Listing

This section is optional from Minima v2.2 onwards.
It will be automatically included only when your site contains one or more valid posts or drafts (if the site is configured to show_drafts).

The title for this section is Posts by default and rendered with an <h2> tag. You can customize this heading by defining a list_title variable in the document's front matter.

Includes

Refers to snippets of code within the _includes directory that can be inserted in multiple layouts (and another include-file as well) within the same theme-gem.

  • analytics.html — Inserts Google Analytics module (active only in production environment).
  • footer.html — Defines the site's footer section.
  • head.html — Code-block that defines the <head></head> in default layout.
  • head.html — Defines the site's main header section. By default, pages with a defined title attribute will have links displayed here.
  • meta.html — Defines the site's meta tags and tags related to SEO in here.
  • navbar.html — Navbar and its content can be defined in here.

Plugins

Minima comes with jekyll-seo-tag plugin preinstalled to make sure your website gets the most useful meta tags. See usage to know how to set it up.

Usage

Have the following line in your config file:

theme: NuwanJ/jekyll-minima-bootstrap-5-boilerplate

Customizing templates

To override the default structure and style of minima, simply create the concerned directory at the root of your site, copy the file you wish to customize to that directory, and then edit the file. e.g., to override the _includes/head.html file to specify a custom style path, create an _includes directory, copy _includes/head.html from minima gem folder to <yoursite>/_includes and start editing that file.

Change default date format

You can change the default date format by specifying site.minima.date_format in _config.yml.

# Minima date format
# refer to http://shopify.github.io/liquid/filters/date/ if you want to customize this
minima:
  date_format: "%b %-d, %Y"

Author Metadata

From Minima-3.0 onwards, site.author is expected to be a mapping of attributes instead of a simple scalar value:

author:
  name: John Smith
  email: "john.smith@foobar.com"

To migrate existing metadata, update your config file and any reference to the object in your layouts and includes as summarized below:

Minima 2.x Minima 3.0
site.author site.author.name
site.email site.author.email

Enabling Google Analytics

To enable Google Analytics, add the following lines to your Jekyll site:

  ga_tracking: UA-NNNNNNNN-N

Google Analytics will only appear in production, i.e., JEKYLL_ENV=production

Available Scripts

You can use following script files:

  • /scripts/setup : Setup the website
  • /scripts/build : Build the website
  • /scripts/cibuild : Script to test the build result in CI
  • /scripts/run : Build and run the website on 127.0.0.1:4000
