Basic Setup for new Jekyll site

Install Jekyll and read through this installation instructions if you haven't already.
Fork the HMFAYSAL OMEGA Theme
Clone the repo you just forked.
Edit _config.yml to personalize your site.
Check out the sample posts in _posts to see examples for pulling in large feature images, assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.

Pro-tip: Delete the gh-pages branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off master. There is a bunch of garbage in gh-pages used for the theme's demo site that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.

Setup for Existing Jekyll site

Clone the following folders: _includes, _layouts, plugins, assets, and images.
Clone the following files and personalize content as need: about.md, technical-details.md, theme-setup.md, index.html, categories.html, tags.html, feed.xml, and sitemap.xml.
Set the following variables in your _config.yml file:
