Minima is a one-size-fits-all Jekyll theme for writers. It's Jekyll's default (and first) theme. It's what you get when you run jekyll new.
Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:
"minima"
And add this line to your Jekyll site:
e: minima
And then execute:
$ bundle
Minima has been scaffolded by the jekyll new-theme command and therefore has all the necessary files and directories to have a new Jekyll site up and running with zero-configuration.
Refers to files within the _layouts directory, that define the markup for your theme.
default.html — The base layout that lays the foundation for subsequent layouts. The derived layouts inject their contents into this file at the line that says {{ content }} and are linked to this file via FrontMatter declaration layout: default.home.html — The layout for your landing-page / home-page / index-page. [More Info.]page.html — The layout for your documents that contain FrontMatter, but are not posts.post.html — The layout for your posts.Refers to snippets of code within the _includes directory that can be inserted in multiple layouts (and another include-file as well) within the same theme-gem.
disqus_comments.html — Code to markup disqus comment box.footer.html — Defines the site's footer section.google-analytics.html — Inserts Google Analytics module (active only in production environment).head.html — Code-block that defines the <head></head> in default layout.header.html — Defines the site's main header section. By default, pages with a defined title attribute will have links displayed here.Refers to .scss files within the _sass directory that define the theme's styles.
minima.scss — The core file imported by preprocessed main.scss, it defines the variable defaults for the theme and also further imports sass partials to supplement itself.minima/_base.scss — Resets and defines base styles for various HTML elements.minima/_layout.scss — Defines the visual style for various layouts.minima/_syntax-highlighting.scss — Defines the styles for syntax-highlighting.Refers to various asset files within the assets directory.
Contains the main.scss that imports sass files from within the _sass directory. This main.scss is what gets processed into the theme's main stylesheet main.css called by _layouts/default.html via _includes/head.html.
This directory can include sub-directories to manage assets of similar type, and will be copied over as is, to the final transformed site directory.
Minima comes with jekyll-seo-tag plugin preinstalled to make sure your website gets the most useful meta tags. See usage to know how to set it up.
home.html is a flexible HTML layout for the site's landing-page / home-page / index-page.
From Minima v2.2 onwards, the home layout will inject all content from your index.md / index.html before the Posts heading. This will allow you to include non-posts related content to be published on the landing page under a dedicated heading. We recommended that you title this section with a Heading2 (##).
Usually the site.title itself would suffice as the implicit 'main-title' for a landing-page. But, if your landing-page would like a heading to be explicitly displayed, then simply define a title variable in the document's front matter and it will be rendered with an <h1> tag.
This section is optional from Minima v2.2 onwards.
It will be automatically included only when your site contains one or more valid posts or drafts (if the site is configured to show_drafts).
The title for this section is Posts by default and rendered with an <h2> tag. You can customize this heading by defining a list_title variable in the document's front matter.

To override the default structure and style of minima, simply create the concerned directory at the root of your site, copy the file you wish to customize to that directory, and then edit the file.
e.g., to override the _includes/head.html file to specify a custom style path, create an _includes directory, copy _includes/head.html from minima gem folder to <yoursite>/_includes and start editing that file.
The site's default CSS has now moved to a new place within the gem itself, assets/main.scss. To override the default CSS, the file has to exist at your site source. Do either of the following:
main.scss at site source.main.scss at <your-site>/assets/@import "minima";, to <your-site>/assets/main.scssmain.scss at <your-site>/assets/main.scss you just created, and edit away!bundle show minima to get the path to it ).assets/ folder from there into the root of <your-site><your-site>/assets/main.scss–
This allows you to set which pages you want to appear in the navigation area and configure order of the links.
For instance, to only link to the about and the portfolio page, add the following to you _config.yml:
er_pages:
about.md
portfolio.md
–
You can change the default date format by specifying site.minima.date_format
in _config.yml.
nima date format
fer to http://shopify.github.io/liquid/filters/date/ if you want to customize this
ma:
te_format: "%b %-d, %Y"

Optionally, if you have a Disqus account, you can tell Jekyll to use it to show a comments section below each post.
To enable it, add the following lines to your Jekyll site:
squs:
shortname: my_disqus_shortname
You can find out more about Disqus' shortnames here.
Comments are enabled by default and will only appear in production, i.e., JEKYLL_ENV=production
If you don't want to display comments for a particular post you can disable them by adding comments: false to that post's YAML Front Matter.
–
You can add links to the accounts you have on other sites, with respective icon, by adding one or more of the following options in your config:
