al-folio

A simple and clean Jekyll theme for academics.

Originally, al-folio was based on the *folio theme (published by Lia Bogoev and under the MIT license). Since then, it got a full re-write of the styles and many additional cool features. The emphasis is on whitespace, transparency, and academic usage: theme demo.

Getting started

Testing in local

Assuming you have Ruby and Bundler installed on your system (hint: for ease of managing ruby gems, consider using rbenv), first fork the theme from github.com:alshedivat/al-folio to github.com:<your-username>/<your-repo-name> and do the following:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

After your are done commit your changes to branch source and deploy to branch master

$ git status
$ git diff *
$ git add .
$ git commit -m
$ git push origin source
$ ./bin/deploy --user

Updating a Gem without modifying the Gemfile

Sometimes some security issues arise and it's necessary to update a dependency.

$ bundle update name_to_update

In case that you want to update every gem:

$ bundle update
