# Hello, Jekyll! Theme - Get Started in 60 Seconds

Setup Jekyll with GitHub Pages in 60 Seconds

### Step 1 - Create the Jekyll Configuration / Settings File

Add your site title e.g. Your Site Title

Add your index (front) page with a page title e.g. Welcome and using the default layout (to be created in Step 3):

`index.md`:

```

layout: default
---

Hello, Jekyll!
```

### Step 3 - Create the Master Layout

`_layouts/default.html`

```


{{ page.title }} - {{site.title}}

{{ content }}

```

That's it. Ready for serving.
