## Installation
If you're running Jekyll v3.3+ and self-hosting you can quickly install the
theme as Ruby gem. If you're hosting with GitHub Pages you'll have to use the
"repo fork" method or directly copy all of the theme files (see
[structure](#structure) below) into your project.
If you're running Jekyll v3.5+ and self-hosting you can quickly install the
theme as a Ruby gem. If you're hosting with GitHub Pages you can install as a
remote theme or directly copy all of the theme files (see [structure](#structure)
below) into your project.
### Ruby Gem Method
1. Install the theme as a Ruby Gem by adding it to your `Gemfile` like so:
1. Add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem "jekyll-theme-basically-basic"
```
2. Fetch and update your bundled gems by running the following
[Bundler](http://bundler.io/) command:
```bash
bundle
```
3. Set the `theme` in your project's Jekyll configuration, `_config.yml`:
2. Add this line to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml` file:
```yaml
theme: jekyll-theme-basically-basic
```
2. Then run [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) to install the theme gem and dependencies:
```terminal
bundle install
```
### GitHub Pages Method
If you're hosting with GitHub Pages follow these steps instead:
GitHub Pages has added [full support](https://github.com/blog/2464-use-any-theme-with-github-pages)
for any GitHub-hosted theme.
Replace `gem "jekyll"` with:
1. Replace `gem "jekyll"` with:
```ruby
gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
```
Run `bundle update` and verify that all gems install properly.
2. Run `bundle update` and verify that all gems install properly.
Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic"` to your `_config.yml` file.
3. Add `remote_theme: "mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic"` to your
`_config.yml` file. Remove any other `theme:` or `remote_theme:` entries.
Then add [`jekyll-remote-theme`](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme) to the `plugins` (previously gems) array in your `_config.yml` file like so:
---
```yaml
plugins:
- jekyll-remote-theme
```
**Note:** Your Jekyll site should be viewable immediately at
<http://USERNAME.github.io>. If it's not, you can force a rebuild by
**Customizing Your Site** (see below for more details).
Remove any other `theme:` or `remote_theme:` entry.

If you're hosting several Jekyll based sites under the same GitHub username you will have to use Project Pages instead of User Pages. Essentially you rename the repo to something other than **USERNAME.github.io** and create a `gh-pages` branch off of `master`.

## Upgrading
If you're using the Ruby Gem or remote theme versions of Basically Basic,
upgrading is fairly painless.
To check which version you are currently using, view the source of your built
site and you should something similar to:
```
<!--
Basically Basic Jekyll Theme 1.2.0
Copyright 2017-2018 Michael Rose - mademistakes.com | @mmistakes

https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-basically-theme/blob/master/LICENSE.md
-->
```
At the top of every `.html` file, `/assets/css/main.css`, and `/assets/js/main.js`.
## Ruby Gem
Simply run `bundle update` if you're using Bundler (have a `Gemfile`) or `gem
update jekyll-theme-basically-basic` if you're not.
## Remote Theme
When hosting with GitHub Pages you'll need to push up a commit to force a
rebuild with the latest [theme release](https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic/releases).
An empty commit will get the job done too if you don't have anything to push at
the moment:
```terminal
git commit --allow-empty -m "Force rebuild of site"
```
## Use Git
If you want to get the most out of the Jekyll + GitHub Pages workflow, then
you'll need to utilize Git. To pull down theme updates you must first ensure
there's an upstream remote. If you forked the theme's repo then you're likely
good to go.
To double check, run `git remote -v` and verify that you can fetch from `origin https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic.git`.
To add it you can do the following:
```terminal
git remote add upstream https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic.git
```
### Pull Down Updates
Now you can pull any commits made to theme's `master` branch with:
```terminal
git pull upstream master
```
Depending on the amount of customizations you've made after forking, there's
likely to be merge conflicts. Work through any conflicting files Git flags,
staging the changes you wish to keep, and then commit them.
## Update Files Manually
Another way of dealing with updates is [downloading the theme](https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic/archive/master.zip)
--- replacing your layouts, includes, and assets with the newer ones manually.
To be sure that you don't miss any changes it's probably a good idea to review
the theme's [commit history](https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic/commits/master)
to see what's changed since.
Here's a quick checklist of the important folders/files you'll want to be
mindful of:
| Name | |
| ---- | --- |
| `_layouts` | Replace all. Apply edits if you customized any layouts. |
| `_includes` | Replace all. Apply edits if you customized any includes. |
| `assets` | Replace all. Apply edits if you customized stylesheets or scripts. |
| `_sass` | Replace all. Apply edits if you customized Sass partials. |
| `_data/theme.yml` | Safe to keep. Verify that there were no major structural changes or additions. |
| `_config.yml` | Safe to keep. Verify that there were no major structural changes or additions. |
---
**Note:** If you're not seeing the latest version, be sure to flush browser and
CDN caches. Depending on your hosting environment older versions of
`/assets/css/main.css`, `/assets/js/main.js`, or `*.html` may be cached.
