easy-jekyll-starter

Hey there! This is a simple template repository for Jekyll. It does two simple things over jekyll new ...:

• by default, ejects minima from its gem wrapper; this makes it easier to see what Jekyll is doing under the hood, and makes it easy to build your own theme
• adds two workflows for GitHub Actions:
  1. a test action that builds the site on PR/push
  2. an action to deploy to GitHub Pages off of main. Thanks to helaili/jekyll-action, this works out of the box with no secrets required

Other than that, I basically leave minima untouched.
