This is a starter template for an open bases jekyll theme, based on these two previous arts:

• alexcarpenter/material-jekyll-theme
• squidfunk/mkdocs-material

The goal is that the documentation, although being hosted in a different repository, looks like the main Open Bases documentation. In that any repository can render documentation alongside code in the "docs" folder (or github-pages branch if you prefer) it's a reasonable strategy to, for each repository, copy this template into a folder called "docs" and customize the _config.yml and documentation in the pages folder as appropriate.

You can clone the repository right to where you want to host the docs:

git clone https://github.com/openbases/openbases-jekyll-theme.git docs
cd docs

You likely will want to use this theme to build directly on Github Pages for your Open Bases component. This means editing the _config.yml and documentation in the _pages folder as appropriate. You define urls based on the permalink attribute in your pages, and then add them to the navigation by adding to the content of _data/toc.myl.

Most of the configuration values in the _config.yml are self explanatory, but we can describe a few here if it's helpful.
