The Bootleg Hacker theme

Welcome! This is a better version of the Jekyll theme pages-themes/hacker, and it is also compatable with Github Pages.

Notice!

I am now developing my own theme: regulad/crust-tastic. It shares some similarities, but is more detached from pages-themes/hacker.

Elements

Over pages-themes/hacker, I have made things a lot more configurable.

• show_header: truthy/falsey Controls the footer at the bottom of the page. This will have basic navigation. See my website for a full example.

  • show_description: truthy/falsey Controls the description underneath the title.
  • show_downloads: truthy/falsey Controls the download buttons and "View on Github" buttons.

• show_footer: truthy/falsey Controls the footer at the bottom of the page. This will have basic navigation. See my website for a full example.

• post_show_tags: truthy/falsey Controls showing the tags at the bottom of a post.

• post_show_author: truthy/falsey Controls showing the author at the top of a post.

• color: light/dark Controls the color pallete of the webpage. Default is dark.

• favicon: truthy/falsey Controls the favicon of the webpage. If you would like to use a custom path, subsitute truthy/falsey with /path/to/favicon, otherwise it will use the root of the site.

Use

If you want to use this pile o' turd yourself, set the remote_theme: field in your Jekyll _config.yml to regulad/hacker.

remote_theme: regulad/hacker

If you aren't using Github Pages, you should add gem "github-pages" to your Gemfile under the jekyll_plugins bundler group.

source 'https://rubygems.org'
group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem "github-pages"
end

You also need to add it to your _config.yml under plugins.

plugins:
  - github-pages
