Installation

There are 3 ways to install this theme

  1. Install it as a Ruby Gem (for self-hosted sites)
  2. Install it with the jekyll-remote-theme plugin (for GitHub Pages hosted sites)
  3. Fork the project directly

Ruby Gem method

  1. Add this line to your Gemfile:
gem "tale"
  1. Install the theme's gems and dependencies:
$ bundle
  1. In _config.yml add these lines:
theme:      tale

permalink:  /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate:   5

Remove any other theme: lines.

  1. Rename index.md to index.html. Without this, the jekyll-paginate gem will not work.

  2. In about.md, change the layout: field to post:

layout: post

GitHub Pages method

  1. Add these 2 lines in to your Gemfile:
gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
gem "jekyll-paginate"
  1. Install the newly added gems:
$ bundle
  1. In _config.yml add these lines:
remote_theme: chesterhow/tale

permalink:    /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate:     5

plugins:
  - jekyll-paginate
  - jekyll-remote-theme

Remove any other theme: or remote_theme: lines.

  1. Rename index.md to index.html. Without this, the jekyll-paginate gem will not work.

  2. In about.md, change the layout: field to post:

layout: post

Fork method

  1. Fork this repository

  2. Delete the unnecessary files/folders: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, LICENSE, README.md, tale.gemspec

  3. Delete the baseurl line in _config.yml:

baseurl:  "/tale"   # delete this line

Usage

Once you've installed the theme, you're ready to work on your Jekyll site. To start off, I would recommend updating _config.yml with your site's details.

To build and serve your site, run:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

And you're all set! Head over to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see your site in action.
