Hello, Minima! Theme - Get Started in 60 Seconds

Setup Jekyll with GitHub Pages in 60 seconds using Minima - the gem-packaged theme.

Step 1 - Create the Jekyll Configuration / Settings File

Add your site title e.g. Your Site Title and let's use the minima theme

_config.yml:

Step 2 - Create the Index Page

Add your index (front) page with a page title e.g. Welcome and using the default layout (built into Mimina and ready-to-use "out-of-the-gem"):

index.md:

---
title: Welcome
layout: default
---

Hello, Minima!

Step 3 - Add the Minima Styles

css/main.scss

---
---

@import "minima";

That's it. Ready for serving.

Go on GitHub in your repos Settings tab to the GitHub Pages sections and pick Use the master branch in Select Source. Save. Enjoy. Happy Jekylling!
