Installation

There are 3 ways to install this theme

1. Install it as a Ruby Gem (for self-hosted sites)
2. Install it with the jekyll-remote-theme plugin (for GitHub Pages hosted sites)
3. Fork the project directly

Ruby Gem method

1. Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem "tale"

2. Install the theme's gems and dependencies:

$ bundle

3. In _config.yml add these lines:

theme: tale

permalink: /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate: 5

Remove any other theme: lines.

4. Rename index.md to index.html. Without this, the jekyll-paginate gem will not work.

5. In about.md, change the layout: field to post:

layout: post

GitHub Pages method

1. Add these 2 lines in to your Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-remote-theme"
gem "jekyll-paginate"

2. Install the newly added gems:

$ bundle

3. In _config.yml add these lines:

remote_theme: chesterhow/tale

permalink: /:year-:month-:day/:title
paginate: 5

plugins:
  - jekyll-paginate
  - jekyll-remote-theme

Remove any other theme: or remote_theme: lines.

4. Rename index.md to index.html. Without this, the jekyll-paginate gem will not work.

5. In about.md, change the layout: field to post:

layout: post

Fork method

1. Fork this repository

2. Delete the unnecessary files/folders: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, LICENSE, README.md, tale.gemspec

3. Delete the baseurl line in _config.yml:

baseurl: /tale      # delete this line

Usage

Once you've installed the theme, you're ready to work on your Jekyll site. To start off, I would recommend updating _config.yml with your site's details.

To build and serve your site, run:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

And you're all set! Head over to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see your site in action.
