# What's `jekyll-minimal-theme`?

It's another minimal(istic) Jekyll static site generator theme,
that is, a ready-to-fork template pack.

See a live demo @ [`henrythemes.github.io/jekyll-minimal-theme` »](http://henrythemes.github.io/jekyll-minimal-theme)

For example:

```
├── _config.yml # site configuration
├── _posts # sample blog posts
| ├── 2014-05-05-sportdb-update-v192.md # filename format:
| ├── 2014-10-10-new-repo-baviria-bayern.md # => YEAR-MONTH-DAY-TITLE.MARKUP
| ├── 2014-10-21-sql-views.md
| ├── 2014-11-11-new-reop-maps.md
| └── 2014-12-15-quick-starter-datafiles.md
├── _layouts
| ├── default.html # master layout template
| └── post.html # single blog post template
├── css
| ├── _settings.scss # style settings (e.g. variables)
| └── style.scss # master style page
├── feed.xml # web feed template (e.g. in atom format)
├── archive.html # archive template
└── index.html # index template
```

will result in (with `permalink: /:title.html`):

```
└── _site # output build folder; site gets generated here
├── css
| └── style.css # styles for pages (copied 1:1 as is)
├── sportdb-update-v192.html # blog post page
├── new-repo-baviria-bayern.html # another blog post page
├── sql-views.html # ""
├── new-repo-maps.html # ""
├── quick-starter-datafiles.html # ""
├── feed.xml # web feed (e.g. in atom format)
├── archive.html # archive page
└── index.html # index page
```

## Usage

To use - delete all sample posts in the `_posts` folder and
change the settings in `_config.yml` to use your own `site.title`
and `site.url`:

```
title: 'Jekyll Minimal Theme'
url: 'http://henrythemes.github.io/jekyll-minimal-theme'
author:
name: 'Jekyll Minimal Theme Team'
```
