jekyll-theme-documentation

A Jekyll theme for hosting documentation on GitHub Pages. You can preview the theme to see what it looks like, or even use it today.

1. Add the following to your site's _config.yml:

   remote_theme: marella/jekyll-theme-documentation

2. Optionally, if you'd like to preview your site on your computer, add the following to your site's Gemfile:

   gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

The following variables will be used, if set in your site's _config.yml:

title: [Your project title]
toc_min: 2 # Min heading for ToC - h2
toc_max: 3 # Max heading for ToC - h3
hide_toc: [Hide table of contents for all pages]
nav: [List of navigation links]
owner_name: [Your name]
owner_url: [Your website url]
google_analytics: [Your Google Analytics tracking ID]

It is recommended to set permalink: pretty when nav is set. See _config.yml.

The following variables will be used, if set in your page's YAML front matter:

hide_toc: [Hide table of contents for current page]
hide_nav: [Hide navigation links for current page]

It is recommended to set permalink: / for README when nav is set.

If you'd like to preview the theme locally (for example, in the process of proposing a change):

1. Clone the theme's repository (git clone https://github.com/marella/jekyll-theme-documentation)
2. cd into the theme's directory
3. Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies
4. Run npm start to start the preview server
5. Visit localhost:4000 in your browser to preview the theme
