Minimal Mistakes Jekyll Theme
Minimal Mistakes is a flexible two-column Jekyll theme. Perfect for hosting your personal site, blog, or portfolio on GitHub or self-hosting on your own server. As the name implies --- styling is purposely minimalistic to be enhanced and customized by you 😄.
See what's new in the CHANGELOG.
✨ Minimal Mistakes is now available as a Ruby gem. Consult the Quick-Start Guide and this blog post to learn how to upgrade.

Usage
For detailed instructions on how to configure, customize, add content, and more read the theme's documentation.
Note: Gem version of the theme requires Jekyll v3.3+ and is not currently supported on GitHub Pages. You can still use the theme with GitHub Pages, you'll just need to install using the old "repo fork method".
Quick Start
Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:
gem "minimal-mistakes-jekyll"
Add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml file:
theme: minimal-mistakes-jekyll
Then run Bundler to install the theme gem and dependencies:
bundle install
To update the theme run bundle update.
Contributing
Having trouble working with the theme? Found a typo in the documentation? Interested in adding a feature or fixing a bug? Then by all means submit an issue or pull request. If this is your first pull request, it may be helpful to read up on the GitHub 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 😄.
Pull Requests
To help me out try to avoid creating pull requests on master and instead branch off of develop. It's much easier for me to test, merge, and roll them into new releases this way.
Theme documentation and demo pages can be found in the /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 your theme and the contents of the test/ directory. As you make modifications to your theme and to the example site, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh.
