Minimal Mistakes Jekyll Theme

GitHub release GitHub license

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.

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

Run Bundler:

bundle install

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 supported with sites hosted with GitHub Pages. You can still use the theme on GitHub Pages, you'll just need to install using the old "repo fork method".


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 gh-pages branch, please submit pull requests against that branch.
