Otto is now Zebra Snooze

Warning

This Jekyll remote theme as been archived.

Refer to the zebra-snooze, the same theme with similar look and feel.

This is a GitHub Pages Template repository used for my personal sites sites. Originally, an adaptation from Mark Otto's WTF website, with lots of :heart: of course.

Otto theme site in preview.

What's included:

• Designed and crafted for the use of my website and other micro-sites
• Uses jekyll development container found in @kosalanuwan/devcontainers
• Uses _scss for styling the site with Jekyll Theme practices
• Configured _data to manage site text and flags
• Configured to run locally on localhost:8004/jekyll-otto-theme/
• Configured to use as a remote_theme

Requirements

See the @kosalanuwan/devcontainers repository for the minimal requirements to get started.

Use This Template

Smashing Magazine tutorial on Jekyll is a good source to start with, if you are completely new to Jekyll.

First, you create a copy of this repository. It is marked as a Template so you only have to Use This Template and follow the instructions.

Use This Theme

I prefer to use this repo with minimal efforts and all I have to do is enable remote_theme.

# _config.yml
remote_theme: alertbox/bookworm
plugins:
  - jekyll-remote-theme

# Gemfile
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem 'github-pages'
gem 'jekyll-remote-theme'
# ... any other plugins as you wish
end

Next, I can clean up the source code, override if there's anything I need to customize.

#!/bin/zsh
rm -rf _includes _layouts _sass assets

Override This Theme

See the themes section in jekyll documentation to learn more.
