git clone https://github.com/umermansoor/Portal-Jekyll-Theme.git

2. Start the theme with sample blog contents

jekyll serve --watch

If everything works as expected, you should be able to see the theme with some sample contents at http://127.0.0.1:4000/index.html

To start modifying the theme, update the _config.yml file. Blog posts go in the _posts folder.

Deploying Instructions and baseurl

You should always leave the baseUrl in _config.yml as empty e.g.

baseurl: ''

You should set the url property to the URL of your website if you are deploying it behind a domain. E.g.

url: https://codeahoy.com

Credits

This theme is based on Mundana Jekyll theme by WowThemes.net. I modified it to fit my requirements. Check these guys out and support their work.

Known Issues (or things I plan on working next)

• Making the top navbar sticky on mobile
• Fixing Jumbotron and feature image.
• Reducing gap (empty space) between Jumbotron and blog start
• Removed unused CSS/JS files
• Use async and defer wherever applicable
• Remove JQuery (make it optional)
