We're using Foundation & Font-Awesome Sass Sass compiled by Jekyll automatically when we build the source.

The primary stylesheet '/assets/stylessheets/style.scss' file is configured to include all necessary files for Foundation, Font-Awesome and your custom styles, just add your custom styles to '/assets/stylesheets/_theme.scss'.

To test your site locally just run:

jekyll serve

Note: Make sure you update your git remote before you try to push any changes.

Dependencies

  • ruby
  • Jekyll
  • kramdown
  • pygments
