A starter single-page site respository using the Jekyll static site generator for Github Pages.
This uses:
- W3CSS Dark Portfolio Template: Demo / Sandbox
- Barebones Jekyll
- An updated Gemlock from Minimal Mistakes
- It also takes inspiration from Dark Portfolio Template for 11ty
Unlike the original 11ty Blog, this is not a full-featured blog. This is a single-page site.
Missing features from the Eleventy blog template:
- Posts
- Archive
- Feed
- Map social icons to config file
git clone https://github.com/shenchingtou/dark-portfolio-template-jekyll.git your-site-name
cd your-site-name
gem install jekyll
jekyll serve
To debug if there's a deploy error
jekyll serve --trace
Title: "This becomes your main title"
Tagline: "This is the subtitle"
Logo: Your favicon
All of it is hardcoded in. You will find sections flagged by:
<!-- In these arrows -->
Images are found in the folder assets/w3images.
_layouts/main.html is the layout generating the index page
_includes/head.html is formatting, SEO, and styling
_includes/nav.html is the navigation bar
The 11ty version of the Dark Portfolio theme was based off of the Eleventy Base Blog, which means that the index page added those components into the layout.
The index sections such as the "About" and "Gallery" could be created as pages or posts and slotted in. If you have time to make these improvements, please feel free to do so and make a pull request.
You can take a look at the Eleventy blog for some inspiration on how to set up the blog and archive features. However, it is probably just as quick to take another Jekyll theme and build out the features using that.
