Docsy Jekyll Theme

This is a starter template for a Docsy jekyll theme, based on the Beautiful Docsy that renders with Hugo. This version is intended for native deployment on GitHub pages. The original Apache License is included.

Changes

The site is intended for purely documentation, so while the front page banner is useful for business or similar, this author (@vsoch) preferred to have the main site page go directly to the Documentation view. Posts are still provided via a feed.

Usage

1. Get the code

You can clone the repository right to where you want to host the docs:

git clone https://github.com/vsoch/docsy-jekyll.git docs
cd docs

2. Customize

To edit configuration values, customize the _config.yml. To add pages, write them into the pages folder. You define urls based on the permalink attribute in your pages, and then add them to the navigation by adding to the content of _data/toc.myl. The top navigation is controlled by _data/navigation.yml

3. Options

Most of the configuration values in the _config.yml are self explanatory, and for more details, see the getting started page rendered on the site.

4. Serve

Depending on how you installed jekyll:

jekyll serve
# or
bundle exec jekyll serve
