Screenshot

This is a simple and minimalist template for Jekyll designed for developers that want to write blog posts but don't want to care about frontend stuff.

The Theme features:

  • Gulp
  • Stylus (Jeet, Rupture, Kouto Swiss)
  • Live Search
  • Offcanvas Menu
  • SVG icons
  • Very very small and fast!
  • Shell Script to create posts
  • Tags page
  • Series page
  • About Me page
  • Feed RSS
  • Sitemap.xml
  • Color Customization
  • Info Customization

If you want to see this template in real action, take a look at my original site.

Basic Setup

  1. Install Jekyll (use the command sudo gem install jekyll)
  2. Fork the Cards Jekyll Template
  3. Clone the repo you just forked.
  4. Edit _config.yml to personalize your site.
  5. Check out the sample posts in _posts to see examples for assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
  6. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
  7. Remember to compile your assets files with Gulp.

Site and User Settings

You have to fill some informations on _config.yml to customize your site.

# Site settings

Header Name

To use the power of CSS Content and media query, the header name is defined on src/styl/_header.styl. Change to your prefered name.

Color customization

All color variables are in src/styl/_variables.styl. To change the main color, just set the new value at main assignment. Another colors are for texts and the code background color.

Theme Colors

Every post has a main color that is defined on src/styl/_theme-colors.styl. Just create a new color with the prefix post- and define your main-class: 'css' and color: '#2DA0C3' on every post you create.

Creating posts

You can use the initpost.sh to create your new posts. Just follow the command:

./initpost.sh -c Post Title

The new file will be created at _posts with this format date-title.md.
