Merriweather

Welcome to the Merriweather Jekyll theme! Merriweather has a minimal layout emphasizing content and readability, mainly designed for a blog. The name is based off of the site's main font.

Demo (Coming Soon)

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "merriweather"

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

theme: merriweather

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install merriweather

To add a post, simply make a .md file in the _.posts directory, named [YEAR]-[MONTH]-[DAY]-MY-AWESOME-TITLE.

For example, in the directory:

_includes
_layouts
_sass
assets
_posts
	2018-01-31-why-jekyll-rocks.md
.gitignore
README.md
_config.yml
Gemfile

More plugins coming soon!

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/MaxShalom/merriweather. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

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

Merriweather is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add posts and other files to test your theme's contents.

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

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