There are three ways to install: as a gem-based theme, as a remote theme (GitHub Pages compatible), or forking/directly copying all of the theme files into your project.
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:
-
Add the following to your
Gemfile
:gem "minimal-mistakes-jekyll"
-
Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following Bundler command:
bundle
-
Set the
theme
in your project's Jekyll_config.yml
file:theme: minimal-mistakes-jekyll
To update the theme run bundle update
.
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:
-
Create/replace the contents of your
Gemfile
with the following:source "https://rubygems.org" gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins gem "jekyll-include-cache", group: :jekyll_plugins
-
Add
jekyll-include-cache
to theplugins
array of your_config.yml
. -
Fetch and update bundled gems by running the following Bundler command:
bundle
-
Add
remote_theme: "mmistakes/minimal-mistakes@4.24.0"
to your_config.yml
file. Remove any othertheme:
orremote_theme:
entry.
Looking for an example? Use the Minimal Mistakes remote theme starter for the quickest method of getting a GitHub Pages hosted site up and running. Generate a new repository from the starter, replace sample content with your own, and configure as needed.
For detailed instructions on how to configure, customize, add/migrate content, and more read the theme's documentation.
