### A Jekyll theme for academia
A Jekyll theme designed for academia, although you can use it for almost any other purpose as well:
* Showcase your research interests, publications, your curriculum vitae, the people in your research group, and your contact information.
* Manage courses that you are teaching.
* Provide updates to your students and faulty.
For a guide on how to deploy a Jekyll site using GitHub Pages, please check out [this article](https://paulle.ca/jekyll-tutorials/deploy-jekyll-site-github-pages).
If you like my work then please consider supporting me with [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/paulle).
## Installation
### Ruby Gem Method
Add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem "academic-jekyll-theme"
```
And add this line to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml`:
```yaml
theme: academic-jekyll-theme
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install academic-jekyll-theme
## Usage
### Layouts
The following sections describe usage instructions for this Jekyll theme,including available layouts, includes, sass and/or assets.

The `_layouts/home.html` layout defines the home page for this theme. An introduction to your research group or to yourself can be provided, along with a list of featured publications. There is also a section for providing any updates through posts placed in the `_posts` directory.
#### People
The `_layouts/people.html` layout can be used to showcase and describe people in your research group. People are defined in the `_data/settings.yml` file, and markdown pages for each person with the `_layouts/page.html` layout can be placed in the `people` directory.
#### Publications
The `_layouts/publications.html` layout can be used to showcase selected publications, or the entire catalogue of publications. Direct links to the paper can be used, or a PDF copy of the paper can be served. Publications are defined in the `_data/publications.yml` file, and any PDF files that are served can be placed in the `publications` directory.
#### Courses
The `_layouts/courses.html` layout can be used to showcase courses that were taught in the past or are currently being taught. Courses are defined in the `_data/settings.yml` file, and markdown pages for each course with the `_layouts/page.html` layout can be placed in the `courses` directory. Related course material, such as PDF files, can also be placed in the `courses` directory in a subdirectory with the same name as the corresponding course.
#### CV
The `_layouts/cv.html` layout can be used to showcase a curriculum vitae. The sections of the cv are defined in the `_data/cv` directory, where each section has its own `.yml` file.
#### Contact
The `_layouts/contact.html` layout can be used to provide contact information for the research group or the people that lead the research group. Contact information is defined in the `_data/settings.yml` file.
