Customization

Metadata

You can create a file _includes/custom-head.html in your repository, and add any metadata into that page, e.g. favicons.

Navigation

You can create a file _data/navigation.yml to configure links to some pages. For example,

- title: About
  url: /about/
- title: Categories
  url: /categories/
- title: Tags
  url: /tags/

The navigation bar also supports dropdown submenus:

- title: About
  url: /about/
- title: Categories
  url: /categories/
- title: Tags
  url: /tags/
- title: More
  sublinks:
    - title: FAQ
      url: /faq/
    - title: Docs
      url: /docs/

Social Media

You can create a file _data/social.yml to configure links to your social media. For example,

- title: Twitter
  url: https://twitter.com/ngzhio
  icon: fab fa-twitter
- title: GitHub
  url: https://github.com/ngzhio/jekyll-theme-hamilton
  icon: fab fa-github

Skins

You can select a skin by setting skin in _config.yml. The built-in skins include daylight, midnight, sunrise, and sunset. If you don't specify any skin, Hamilton would dynamically select one in these built-in skins according to different hours in a day.

You can also customize a new skin, for example, a skin called solarized. You need to copy _sass/hamilton/skins/daylight.scss into your repository and then rename it to solarized.scss, and adjust some colors in that file. Finally, specify skin: solarized in _config.yml.

More Customized Styles

If you want to create more CSS styles in your site, creating a file _sass/hamilton/custom-styles.scss, and putting your code in there, Hamilton would automatically refer to them.
