As the name implies, styling is purposely minimalistic to be enhanced and customized by you :smile:.\n\n:sparkles: See what's new in the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).\n\n**Note:** The theme uses the [jekyll-include-cache](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-include-cache) plugin which will need to be installed in your `Gemfile` and must be retained in the `plugins` array of `_config.yml`. Otherwise you'll encounter `Unknown tag 'include_cached'` errors at build.\n\n[![Minimal Mistakes live preview][2]][1]\n\n[1]: https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/\n[2]: screenshot.png (live

Yet all of the necessary directories will be read and processed during Jekyll’s build process.\n\nThis allows for easier installation and updating as you don't have to manage any of the theme files. To install:\n\n1. Add the following to your `Gemfile`:\n\n   ```ruby\n   gem \"minimal-mistakes-jekyll\"\n   ```\n\n2. Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) command:\n\n   ```bash\n   bundle\n   ```\n\n3. Set the `theme` in your project's Jekyll `_config.yml` file:\n\n   ```yaml\n   theme: minimal-mistakes-jekyll\n   ```\n\nTo update the theme run `bundle update`.\n\n### Remote theme method\n\nRemote themes are similar to Gem-based themes, but do not require `Gemfile` changes or whitelisting making them ideal for sites hosted with GitHub Pages.\n\nTo install:\n\n1. Create/replace the contents of your `Gemfile` with the following:\n\n   ```ruby\n   source \"https://rubygems.org\"\n\n   gem \"github-pages\", group: :jekyll_plugins\n   gem \"jekyll-include-cache\", group: :jekyll_plugins\n   ```\n\n2. Add `jekyll-include-cache` to the `plugins` array of your `_config.yml`.\n\n3. Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following [Bundler](https://bundler.io/) command:\n\n   ```bash\n   bundle\n   ```\n\n4. Add `remote_theme: \"mmistakes/minimal-mistakes@4.27.3\"` to your `_config.yml` file. Remove any other `theme:` or `remote_theme:` entry.\n\n\u003c!--\n  Dev note: The version number is currently hard-coded in these files:\n\n    - package.json\n    - README.md (this file)\n    - docs/_data/theme.yml\n    - docs/_pages/home.md (in Front Matter \"excerpt\")\n\n  `package.json` holds the authoritative version number, and the others can be updated with `bundle exec rake version`.\n\n  The following files should also be regenerated:\n\n    - _includes/copyright.html, _includes/copyright.js, _sass/minimal-mistakes/_copyright.scss\n      (Run `bundle exec rake clean` then `bundle exec rake copyright` - all three references `package.json`)\n    - assets/js/main.min.js (Run `bundle exec rake js`, references `_includes/copyright.js`)\n\n  *Tip*: The default Rake task will update all of the above files at once.\n\n  Additionally, the license year is hard-coded in these files and are NOT covered by a Rake task:\n\n    - README.md (this file, near the end)\n    - LICENSE\n--\u003e\n\n**Looking for an example?** Use the [Minimal Mistakes remote theme starter](https://github.com/mmistakes/mm-github-pages-starter/generate) for the quickest method of getting a GitHub Pages hosted site up and running. Generate a new repository from the starter, replace sample content with your own, and configure as needed.\n\n## Usage\n\nFor detailed instructions on how to configure, customize, add/migrate content, and more read the [theme's documentation](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/).\n\n## Contributing\n\nFound a typo in the documentation or interested in [fixing a bug](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues)? Then by all means [submit an issue](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues/new) or [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). If this is your first pull request, it may be helpful to read up on the [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/) first.\n\nFor help with using the theme or general Jekyll support questions, please use the [Jekyll Talk forums](https://talk.jekyllrb.com/).\n\n### Pull Requests\n\nWhen submitting a pull request:\n\n1. Clone the repo.\n2. Create a branch off of `master` and give it a meaningful name (e.g. `my-awesome-new-feature`).\n3. Open a pull request on GitHub and describe the feature or fix.\n\nTheme documentation and demo pages can be found in the [`/docs`](docs) if submitting improvements, typo corrections, etc.\n\n## Development\n\nTo set up your environment to develop this theme, run `bundle install`.\n\nTo test the theme, run `bundle exec rake preview` and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000/test/`. This starts a Jekyll server using content in the `test/` directory. As modifications are made to the theme and test site, it will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh.\n\n## Credits\n\n### Creator\n\n**Michael Rose**\n\n- \u003chttps://mademistakes.com\u003e\n- \u003chttps://twitter.com/mmistakes\u003e\n- \u003chttps://github.com/mmistakes\u003e\n\n### Icons + Demo Images:\n\n- [The Noun Project](https://thenounproject.com) - Garrett Knoll, Arthur Shlain, and [tracy tam](https://thenounproject.com/tracytam)\n- [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/)\n- [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/)\n\n### Other:\n\n- [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/)\n- [jQuery](http://jquery.com/)\n- [Susy](http://susy.oddbird.net/)\n- [Breakpoint](http://breakpoint-sass.com/)\n- [Magnific Popup](http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/)\n- [FitVids.JS](http://fitvidsjs.com/)\n- [GreedyNav.js](https://github.com/lukejacksonn/GreedyNav)\n- [Smooth Scroll](https://github.com/cferdinandi/smooth-scroll)\n- [Gumshoe](https://github.com/cferdinandi/gumshoe)\n- [jQuery throttle / debounce](http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-throttle-debounce-plugin/)\n- [Lunr](http://lunrjs.com)\n- [Clipboard.js](https://clipboardjs.com)\n\n## License\n\nThe MIT License (MIT)\n\nCopyright (c) 2013-2024 Michael Rose and contributors\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal\nin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights\nto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell\ncopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is\nfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all\ncopies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR\nIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,\nFITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
