Installing Jekyll theme
There are two common ways to install themes in Jekyll:
- Fork the Github repo - this will have to fork on
git clone
the repo and use this theme as starting point of your Jekyll install - Use Ruby
gem
- you can install this on the existing Jekyll install ** pick the theme you like and get the gem slug to put on the Gemfile e.g:gem "minimal-mistakes-jekyll"
** change the theme name onGemfile
and update the theme on_config.yml
files ** runbundle
** check your new theme by runningbundle exec jekyll serve
And you should see the theme has changed. Please be aware that you may have some Build warnings
because themes have different layouts and may scream that the layout required didn’t exist.
