Dull Theme

This is just a non interting Jekyll theme. There is no fancy CSS or JS.

Boring page with no clutter is great for reading.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "dull"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: dull

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dull

Usage

Variables

The only custom variable is mugshot, in case you want a little picture below the header.

mugshot: "/assets/images/mugshot.jpg"

Custom Head

If you want to add entries to head, create the file _includes/custom-head.html.

If you want a footer, create the file _includes/footer.html.

Code highlighting

To have your code highlighted add to _config.yml:

highlighter: rouge

Your code will be highlighted with Dracula color scheme.

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes and assets tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in dull.gemspec accordingly.
