# [Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/)
|
||
|
||
[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/master/LICENSE)
|

|
||

|
||
|
||
Minimal Mistakes is a flexible two-column Jekyll theme, perfect for building personal sites, blogs, and portfolios. As the name implies, styling is purposely minimalistic to be enhanced and customized by you :smile:.
|
||
|
||
:sparkles: See what's new in the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).
|
||
|
||
**If you enjoy this theme, please consider [supporting me](https://www.paypal.me/mmistakes) to continue developing and maintaining it.**
|
||
|
||
[](https://www.paypal.me/mmistakes)
|
||
|
||
**Note:** The theme uses the [jekyll-include-cache](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-include-cache) plugin which will need to be installed in your `Gemfile` and added to the `plugins` array of `_config.yml`. Otherwise you'll encounter `Unknown tag 'include_cached'` errors at build.

||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
There are three ways to install: as a [gem-based theme](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/#understanding-gem-based-themes), as a [remote theme](https://blog.github.com/2017-11-29-use-any-theme-with-github-pages/) (GitHub Pages compatible), or forking/directly copying all of the theme files into your project.
|
||
|
||
### Gem-based method
|
||
|
||
With Gem-based themes, directories such as the `assets`, `_layouts`, `_includes`, and `_sass` are stored in the theme’s gem, hidden from your immediate view. Yet all of the necessary directories will be read and processed during Jekyll’s build process.
|
||
|
||
This allows for easier installation and updating as you don't have to manage any of the theme files. To install:
|
||
|
||
1. Add the following to your `Gemfile`:
|
||
|
||
```ruby
|
||
gem "minimal-mistakes-jekyll"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bundle
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Set the `theme` in your project's Jekyll `_config.yml` file:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
theme: minimal-mistakes-jekyll
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To update the theme run `bundle update`.
|
||
|
||
### Remote theme method
|
||
|
||
Remote themes are similar to Gem-based themes, but do not require `Gemfile` changes or whitelisting making them ideal for sites hosted with GitHub Pages.
|
||
|
||
To install:
|
||
|
||
1. Create/replace the contents of your `Gemfile` with the following:
|
||
|
||
```ruby
|
||
source "https://rubygems.org"
|
||
|
||
gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Add `jekyll-include-cache` to the `plugins` array of your `_config.yml`.
|
||
|
||
3. Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bundle
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4. Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes@4.19.1"` to your `_config.yml` file. Remove any other `theme:` or `remote_theme:` entry.
|
||
|
||
**Looking for an example?** Fork the [Minimal Mistakes remote theme starter](https://github.com/mmistakes/mm-github-pages-starter) for the quickest method of getting a GitHub Pages hosted site up and running. Replace sample content with your own and configure as needed.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
For detailed instructions on how to configure, customize, add/migrate content, and more read the [theme's documentation](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/).

|
||
## Contributing
|
||
|
||
Having trouble working with the theme? Found a typo in the documentation? Interested in adding a feature or [fixing a bug](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues)? Then by all means [submit an issue](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/issues/new) or [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). If this is your first pull request, it may be helpful to read up on the [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/) first.
|
||
|
||
Minimal Mistakes has been designed as a base for you to customize and fit your site's unique needs. Please keep this in mind when requesting features and/or submitting pull requests. If it's not something that most people will use, I probably won't consider it. When in doubt ask.
|
||
|
||
This goes for author sidebar links and "share button" additions -- I have no intention of merging in every possibly option, the essentials are there to get you started :smile:.
|
||
|
||
### Pull Requests
|
||
|
||
When submitting a pull request:
|
||
|
||
1. Clone the repo.
|
||
2. Create a branch off of `master` and give it a meaningful name (e.g. `my-awesome-new-feature`).
|
||
3. Open a pull request on GitHub and describe the feature or fix.
|
||
|
||
Theme documentation and demo pages can be found in the [`/docs`](docs) if submitting improvements, typo corrections, etc.
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
To set up your environment to develop this theme, run `bundle install`.
|
||
|
||
To test the theme, run `bundle exec rake preview` and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000/test/`. This starts a Jekyll server using content in the `test/` directory. As modifications are made to the theme and test site, it will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh.
