Theme usage

  1. To use this theme in your project via github-pages, add a _config.yml file with this line
    remote_theme: boycce/github-docs
    

Theme usage (local preview)

  1. To preview this theme for your project, add the following Gemfile in your root folder

    source 'https://rubygems.org'
    
    # Use one of the following:
    
    # 1. simulate github-pages
    gem 'github-pages', group: :jekyll_plugins
    
    # 2. Or use jekyll-remote-theme, contains unsupported dependency versions, e.g. Sass issues
    #   https://github.com/MichaelCurrin/jekyll-theme-quickstart/tree/gh-pages
    # gem "github-docs", git: "https://github.com/boycce/github-docs"
    # group :jekyll_plugins do
    #   gem "jekyll-remote-theme", "~> 0.4.2"
    # end
