## Installation
1. Install the theme as a Ruby Gem by adding it to your `Gemfile` like so:
```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`:
```yaml
theme: jekyll-theme-basically-basic
```
**Note:** 3rd-party Ruby gem themes aren't currently supported on sites hosted
with [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/). Basically Basic can still be
used on GH Pages, but you will need to fork the theme instead.
## Configuration

| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `lang` | Used to indicate the language of text (e.g., en-US, en-GB, fr) |
| `title` | Your site's title (e.g., Dungan's Awesome Site) |
| `description` | Short site description (e.g., A blog about grasshopper mash) |
| `url` | The full URL to your site (e.g., https://groverloaf.org) |

### Skin
This theme comes in six different skins (color variations). To change skins add
one of the following to your [`/_data/theme.yml`](_data/theme.yml) file:
| `skin: default` | `skin: night` | `skin: plum` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![default-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115744/c0618c90-0d7a-11e7-8e2d-ec70f9db0c1b.png) | ![night-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115770/d61127f8-0d7a-11e7-9158-986bee2be8e7.png) | ![plum-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115778/db523a0e-0d7a-11e7-9452-8692b736d67e.png) |
| `skin: sea` | `skin: soft` | `skin: steel` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![sea-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115788/e27d818a-0d7a-11e7-8c56-2480e9ae83fb.png) | ![soft-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115790/e6e548e8-0d7a-11e7-8e2d-d8053e8befd1.png) | ![steel-skin](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1376749/24115799/eb2108e8-0d7a-11e7-8cc3-a6f22e4082ee.png) |
### Google Fonts
This theme allows you to easily use [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/)
throughout the theme. Simply add the following to your
[`/_data/theme.yml`](_data/theme.yml), replacing the font `name` and `weights`
accordingly.
```yaml
google_fonts:
- name: "Fira Sans"
weights: "400,400i,600,600i"
- name: "Fira Sans Condensed"
```
### Text
To change text found throughout the theme add the following to your
[`/_data/theme.yml`](_data/theme.yml) file and customize as necessary.
```yaml
t:
skip_links: "Skip links"
skip_primary_nav: "Skip to primary navigation"
skip_content: "Skip to content"
skip_footer: "Skip to footer"
menu: "Menu"
home: "Home"
newer: "Newer"
older: "Older"
email: "Email"
subscribe: "Subscribe"
read_more: "Read More"
posts: "Posts"
page: "Page"
of: "of"
min_read: "min read"
present: "Present"
```
### 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 [`/_data/theme.yml`](_data/theme.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.
### Author
Author information is used as meta data for post "by lines" and propagates the
`creator` field of Twitter summary cards with the following YAML Front Matter
in `_config.yml`:
```yaml
author:
name: John Doe
twitter: johndoetwitter
picture: /assets/images/johndoe.png
```
Site-wide author information can be overridden in a document's YAML Front Matter
in the same way:
```yaml
author:
name: Jane Doe
twitter: janedoetwitter
picture: /assets/images/janedoe.png
```
Or by specifying a corresponding key in the document's YAML Front Matter, that
exists in `site.data.authors`. E.g., you have the following in the document's
YAML Front Matter:
```yaml
author: megaman
```
And you have the following in `_data/authors.yml`:
```yaml
megaman:
name: Mega Man
twitter: megamantwitter
picture: /assets/images/megaman.png
drlight:
name: Dr. Light
twitter: drlighttwitter
picture: /assets/images/drlight.png
```
Currently `author.picture` is only used in `layout: about`. Recommended size is
`300 x 300` pixels.
### Reading Time
To enable reading time counts add `read_time: true` to a post or page's 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`
This layout handles all of the basic page scaffolding placing the page content
between the masthead and footer elements. All other layouts inherit this one
and provide additional styling and features inside of the `{{ content }}` block.
### `layout: post`
This layout accommodates the following YAML Front Matter:
```yaml
# optional alternate title to replace page.title at the top of the page
alt_title: "Basically Basic"
# optional sub-title below the page title
sub_title: "The name says it all"
# optional intro text below titles, Markdown allowed
introduction: |
Basically Basic is a Jekyll theme meant to be a substitute for the default --- [Minima](https://github.com/jekyll/minima). Conventions and features found in Minima are fully supported by **Basically Basic**.
# optional call to action links
actions:
- label: "Learn More"
icon: github # references name of svg icon, see full list below
url: "http://url-goes-here.com"
- label: "Download"
icon: download # references name of svg icon, see full list below
url: "http://url-goes-here.com"
image: # URL to a hero image associated with the post (e.g., /assets/page-pic.jpg)
# post specific author data if different from what is set in _config.yml
author:
name: John Doe
twitter: johndoetwitter
comments: false # disable comments on this post
```
### `layout: page`
Visually this layout looks and acts the same as `layout: post`, with two minor
differences.
- Author "by line" and publish date are omitted.
- Disqus comments are omitted.
### `layout: home`
This layout accommodates the same YAML Front Matter as `layout: page`, with the
addition of the following:
```yaml
paginate: true # enables pagination loop, see section above for additional setup
```
### `layout: about`
This layout accommodates the same YAML Front Matter as `layout: page`, with the
addition of the following to display an author picture:
```yaml
author:
name: John Doe
picture /assets/images/johndoe.png
```
Recommended `picture` size is approximately `300 x 300` pixels. If `author`
object is not explicitly set in the about page's YAML Front Matter the theme
will default to the value set in `_config.yml`.
If blank there no image will appear.
### `layout: cv`
This layout accommodates the same YAML Front Matter as `layout: page`. It
leverages a [JSON-based file standard](https://jsonresume.org/schema/) for
resume data to conveniently render a curriculum vitæ or resume painlessly.
Simply use JSON Resume's [in-browser resume builder](http://registry.jsonresume.org/)
to export a JSON file and save to your project as `_data/cv.json`.
## 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 what 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 what you want inside `<your_project>/assets/javascripts/main.js`.
### SVG Icons
The theme uses social network logos and other iconography saved as SVGs for
performance and flexibility. Said SVGs are located in the `_includes` directory
and prefixed with `icon-`. Each icon has been sized and designed to fit a
`16 x 16` viewbox and optimized with [SVGO](https://github.com/svg/svgo).
Fill colors are defined in the `_sass/basically-basic/_icons.scss` partial and
set with `.icon-name` where class name matches the corresponding icon.
For example the Twitter icon is given a fill color of `#1da1f2` like so:
```html
<span class="icon icon--twitter">{% include icon-twitter.svg %}</span>
```
Alongside the SVG assets, there are icon helper includes to aid in generating
social network links.
| Include Parameter | Description | Required |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------| ----------------------- |
| `username` | Username on given social network | **Required** |
| `label` | Text used for hyperlink | Optional, defaults to `username` |
For example, the following `icon-github.html` include:
```liquid
{% include icon-github.html username=jekyll label='GitHub' %}
```
Will output the following HTML:
```html
<a href="https://github.com/jekyll">
<span class="icon icon--github"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-miterlimit="1.414"><path d="M8 0C3.58 0 0 3.582 0 8c0 3.535 2.292 6.533 5.47 7.59.4.075.547-.172.547-.385 0-.19-.007-.693-.01-1.36-2.226.483-2.695-1.073-2.695-1.073-.364-.924-.89-1.17-.89-1.17-.725-.496.056-.486.056-.486.803.056 1.225.824 1.225.824.714 1.223 1.873.87 2.33.665.072-.517.278-.87.507-1.07-1.777-.2-3.644-.888-3.644-3.953 0-.873.31-1.587.823-2.147-.09-.202-.36-1.015.07-2.117 0 0 .67-.215 2.2.82.64-.178 1.32-.266 2-.27.68.004 1.36.092 2 .27 1.52-1.035 2.19-.82 2.19-.82.43 1.102.16 1.915.08 2.117.51.56.82 1.274.82 2.147 0 3.073-1.87 3.75-3.65 3.947.28.24.54.73.54 1.48 0 1.07-.01 1.93-.01 2.19 0 .21.14.46.55.38C13.71 14.53 16 11.53 16 8c0-4.418-3.582-8-8-8"></path></svg></span>
