Structure	/docs/structure/	How the theme is organized and what all of the files are for.	2016-10-06T22:39:43-04:00

Nothing clever here 😉. Layouts, data files, and includes are all placed in their default locations. Stylesheets and scripts in assets, and a few development related files in the project's root directory.

Please note: If you installed Minimal Mistakes via the Ruby Gem method, theme files like _layouts, _includes, _sass, and /assets/ will be missing. This is normal as they are bundled with the minimal-mistakes-jekyll Ruby gem. {: .notice--info}
