How can I modify the theme ?

First, install jekyll and node.js.

  1. Fork the theme with your username, example: charlie.github.io
  2. Clone repository to your computer
  3. run npm install
  4. run gulp
  5. Be happy by modifying the files

Space Jekyll uses the Stylus to process his css, then modifies the style of the theme in this folder.

You can go in the variable.styl and modify the colors.
