Minima Reboot is a responsive Bootstrap port of Jekyll's default theme, Minima. It tries to be style-light, following Bootstrap as much as possible. It uses bootstrap.css only, and does not load bootstrap.js.
Add this line to your site's _config.yml
remote_theme: aterenin/minima-rebootJekyll will automatically download and enable the theme, provided it is up to date.
Alternatively, Minima Reboot is a gem-based theme and can be installed from rubygems.org.
Minima Reboot is written in the same way as Minima, using Jekyll's standard directories. These are described below, together with differences and new features.
The following files are part of the _layouts directory.
default.html,page.html,post.html— standard layout files exactly as in Minima.home.html— a home page layout, which supports Jekyll's pagination. This can be enabled by settingpaginatein_config.yml.allposts.html— this is a layout which displays a full list of posts by year.
The following files are part of the _includes directory.
disqus_comments.html,footer.html,google-analytics.html,head.html,header.html,icon-github— standard includes exactly as in Minima.head-includes.html— an empty text file where the user may add additional lines that will be inserted into<head>. If you want to customize Minima Reboot and need to include additional style sheets, add them here.
The following files are part of the _sass directory.
minima-reboot.scss— loads the required style sheets.minima-reboot/_layout.scss— contains a few layout tweaks on top of Bootstrap's Reboot style, as well as an inline SVG for the RSS icon, and the responsive navigation menu, for which Minima Reboot uses its own implementation inheader.htmland this file to avoid loading JavaScript.minima-reboot/_syntax-highlighting.scss— defines the colors used by Jekyll's syntax highlighting.
Contains the main.scss file which loads the style files by importing minima-reboot.scss.
Minima Reboot can be customized just like Minima.
To override the style files, add whatever SCSS you like to main.scss in your site's source.
This can also be used to override any other file as necessary.
To load an additional script, for example when using KaTeX to typeset mathematical equations on a page, just add the <script> to _includes/head-includes.html and they will be added to <head>.
The date format can be modified in Minima Reboot as follows in _config.yml.
minima_reboot:
date_format: "%b %-d, %Y"
date_format_short: "%b %-d"The format is specified exactly as in Liquid templates.
New links with icons, such as the GitHub link in the preview, can be added to the footer as follows.
footer_icons:
- username: aterenin/minima-reboot/
url: https://github.com/aterenin/minima-reboot/
icon: icon-github.svgThe username and url parameters are mandatory, the icon parameter is optional.
This functionality supersedes Minima's github_username and twitter_username.
The front matter head_inline allows styles and scripts to be inlined to <head>.
For example, consider adding the following to posts.md.
head_inline: "<style>td:first-child { width: 7rem; }</style>"This will manually set the width of the date column in posts.md.
These are enabled exactly as in Minima.
This theme uses HTML compression provided by jekyll-compress-html.
To disable this, override default.html, and remove the lines
---
layout: compress
---
from the file's front matter.
