# WIP Basically Basic Jekyll Theme
Basically Basic is a [Jekyll theme](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/) meant as a substitute for the default `jekyll new` theme --- [Minima](https://github.com/jekyll/minima). Conventions and features found in Minima are fully supported by **Basically Basic**, with a few enhancements here and there.
## Table of Contents
## Installation
1. Install the theme as a Ruby Gem by adding it to your `Gemfile` like so:
```ruby
gem "jekyll-theme-basically-basic", :git => "https://github.com/mmistakes/jekyll-theme-basically-basic.git"
```
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`:
```yaml
theme: jekyll-theme-basically-basic
```
## Configuration
Configuration of site-wide elements (`title`, `description`, `author`, etc.) happens in your project's `_config.yml`. See the [example configuration](/example/_config.yml) for reference.
### Skin
This theme comes in six different skins (color variations). To change skins edit your project's `_config.yml` to one of the following:
| `theme_skin: default` | `theme_skin: night` | `theme_skin: plum` |
| `theme_skin: sea` | `theme_skin: soft` | `theme_skin: steel` |
### Navigation
By default all internal pages with a `title` will be added to the "off-canvas" menu. For more granular control and sorting of these menu links:
1. Create a custom list to override the default setting by adding a `navigation_pages` array to your `_config.yml` file.
2. Add raw page paths in the order you'd like:
```yaml
navigation_pages:
- about.md
- cv.md
```
Each menu link's title and URL will be populated based on their `title` and `permalink` respectively.
### Pagination
Break up the main listing of posts into smaller lists and display them over multiple pages by [enabling pagination](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/).
1. Include the `jekyll-paginate` plugin in your `Gemfile`.
```ruby
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem "jekyll-paginate"
end
```
2. Add `jekyll-paginate` to `gems` array in your `_config.yml` file and the following pagination settings:
```yaml
paginate: 5 # amount of posts to show per page
paginate_path: /page:num/
```
3. Create `index.html` (or rename `index.md`) in the root of your project and add `layout: home` `paginate: true` to its YAML Front Matter.
### Comments (via Disqus)
Optionally, if you have a [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) account, you can show a comments section below each post.
To enable Disqus comments, add your [Disqus shortname](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466208) to your project's `_config.yml` file:
```yaml
disqus:
shortname: my_disqus_shortname
```
Comments are enabled by default and will only appear in production when built with the following [environment value](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#specifying-a-jekyll-environment-at-build-time): `JEKYLL_ENV=production`
If you don't want to display comments for a particular post you can disable them by adding `comments: false` to that post's YAML Front Matter.
### Google Analytics
To enable Google Analytics, add your [tracking ID](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1032385) to `_config.yml` like so:
```yaml
google_analytics: UA-NNNNNNNN-N
```
Similar to comments, the Google Analytics tracking script will only appear in production when using the following environment value: `JEKYLL_ENV=production`.
## Layouts
This theme provides the following layouts, which you can use by setting the `layout` [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/) on each page, like so:
```yaml
---
layout: name
---
```
### `layout: default`
### `layout: post`
### `layout: page`
### `layout: home`
### `layout: about`
### `layout: cv`
## Customization
The default structure, style, and scripts of this theme can be overridden and customized in the following two ways.
### Overriding Includes and Layouts
Theme defaults can be [overridden](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/#overriding-theme-defaults) by placing a file with the same name into your project's `_includes` or `_layouts` directory. For instance:
- To specify a custom style path or meta data to the [`_includes/head.html `](_includes/head.html) file, create an `_includes` directory in your project, copy `_includes/head.html` from Basically
Basic's gem folder to `<your_project>/_includes` and start editing that file.
**ProTip:** to locate the theme's files on your computer run `bundle show jekyll-theme-basically-basic`. This returns the location of the gem-based theme files.
### Customizing Sass (SCSS)
To override the default [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/guide) (located in theme's `_sass` directory), do one of the following:
1. Copy directly from the Basically Basic gem
- Go to your local Basically Basic gem installation directory (run `bundle show jekyll-theme-basically-basic` to get the path to it).
- Copy the contents of `/assets/stylesheets/main.scss` from there to `<your_project>`.
- Customize want you want inside `<your_project>/assets/stylesheets/main.scss`.
2. Copy from this repo.
- Copy the contents of [assets/stylesheets/main.scss](assets/stylesheets/main.scss) to `<your_project>`.
- Customize want you want inside `<your_project/assets/stylesheets/main.scss`.
**Note:** To make more extensive changes and customize the Sass partials bundled in the gem. You will need to copy the complete contents the `_sass` directory to `<your_project>` due to the way Jekyll currently reads those files.
To make basic tweaks to theme's style Sass variables can be overridden by adding to `<your_project>/assets/stylesheets/main.scss`. For instance, to change the accent color used throughout the theme add:
```scss
$accent-color: red;
```
Before any `@import` lines.
### Customizing JavaScript
To override the default JavaScript bundled in the theme, do one of the following:
1. Copy directly from the Basically Basic gem
- Go to your local Basically Basic gem installation directory (run `bundle show jekyll-theme-basically-basic` to get the path to it).
- Copy the contents of `/assets/javascripts/main.js` from there to `<your_project>`.
- Customize want you want inside `<your_project>/assets/javascripts/main.js`.
2. Copy from this repo.
- Copy the contents of [assets/javascripts/main.js](assets/javascripts/main.js) to `<your_project>`.
- Customize want you want inside `<your_project>/assets/javascripts/main.js`.
### Customizing Sidebar Content

## Development
To set up your environment to develop this theme:
1. Clone this repo
2. `cd` into `/example` and run `bundle install`.
To test the theme the locally as you make changes to it:
1. `cd` into the root folder of the repo (e.g. `jekyll-theme-basically-basic`).
2. Run `bundle exec rake preview` and open your browser to `http://localhost:4000/example/`.
This starts a Jekyll server using the theme's files and contents of the `example/` directory. As modifications are made, refresh your browser to see any changes.
