Hematite

A work-in-progress theme intended to be used for course websites.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "hematite"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: hematite

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hematite

Usage

Further documentation for this is coming! For now, minimal documentation can be found on the theme's homepage.

Contributing

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

Development

TODO: Update this. This is still the default set of instructions.

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, _sass and assets tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in Hematite.gemspec accordingly.

Note: All user-facing strings that are distributed with the theme should go in assets/string_data to permit future localization.

License

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
