jambi

A minimal Jekyll theme for documenting things you've created.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jambi"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jambi

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jambi

After installation, copy (then customize) these settings into your site's _.config.yml file:

# Jambi settings
me:
  name: Your Name
  tagline: These are the things I create
  photo: "/images/header/me.jpg"
google_analytics: UA-XXXXXXXXX-X
excerpt_separator: <!--more-->  # you can specify your own separator, of course.
permalink: pretty
highlighter: rouge
sass:
  style: compressed
defaults:
  -
    scope:
      path: ""
      type: "posts"
    values:
      layout: "post"
  -
    scope:
      path: ""
      type: "pages"
    values:
      layout: "page"

If you'd like to add your own custom styles:

1. Create a file called /assets/css/style.scss in your site
2. Add the following content to the top of the file, exactly as shown:

   ---
   ---
   
   @import "{{ site.theme }}";

3. Add any custom CSS (or Sass, including imports) you'd like immediately after the @import line

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, and _sass tracked with Git will be released.

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
