Troubleshooting

If you have a question about using Jekyll, start a discussion on the Jekyll Forum or StackOverflow. Other resources:

• Ruby 101
• Setting up a Jekyll site with GitHub Pages
• Configuring GitHub Metadata to work properly when developing locally and avoid No GitHub API authentication could be found. Some fields may be missing or have incorrect data. warnings.

Customization

• Page is based on template at https://github.com/mmistakes/mm-github-pages-starter
• Documentation
• Not all theme files are included in the repo directly but are used from the Gem. To make changes on these files, copy them from here to the repo and Jekyll will prefer the local copy
• academicicons.css (contains Google Scholar icon) stylesheet included by adding it to _includes/custom.html
• Typography reverted back to older versions by adding stylesheets referencing fonts in _includes/custom.html and overriding SASS variables from _sass/minimal-mistakes/_variables.scss in assets/css/main.scss before @import statements (Instructions here)
• Changed font size and family of sidebar (and more) by overriding CSS statements from _sass/minimal-mistakes/_sidebar.scss in assets/css/main.scss after @import statements
• Adjusted _includes/seo.html such that the title of the landing page (Recent posts, defined in index.html) does not contain redundant parts (i.e. Matthiasmunz.de - Matthiasmunz.de becomes Matthiasmunz.de)
