The startup template for Jekyll Theme Chirpy.

When installing the Chirpy through RubyGems, Jekyll can only read files in the folders _includes, _layout, _sass and assets, as well as a small part of options of the _config.yml file from the theme's gem (use the command bundle info --path jekyll-theme-chirpy to locate). To fully use all the features of Chirpy, you also need to copy other critical files/directories from the theme's gem to your Jekyll site.

# The critical files/directories to run Chirpy theme
├── _data
├── _plugins
├── _tabs
├── _config.yml
├── app.js
├── feed.xml
├── index.html
├── robots.txt
├── sw.js
└── 404.html

We extracted all the necessary content of Chirpy theme's gem to help you quickly use the theme.

Use this template to generate a new repository, and then execute:

$ bundle

Creare a new file /assets/css/style.scss in your Jekyll site.

And then add the following content:

---
---

@import {{ site.theme }}

// add your style below

When adding or deleting files in the _tabs folder, you need to complete the section Customing Stylesheet first, and then add a new line before @import:

$tab-count: {{ site.tabs | size | plus: 1 }};

See the jekyll-theme-chirpy's deployment instructions. Note that in order to use GitHub Actions caching to speed up the deployment, you should add the Gemfile.lock file to your repository.

Please note that files and directories in this project may change as the jekyll-theme-chirpy is updated. When updating, please ensure that the file directory structure of your Jekyll site is the same as that of this project.

And then execute:

$ bundle update jekyll-theme-chirpy
