Indigo, minimalist Jekyll theme, updates for manifest
- 2 mins
This blog uses - Indigo Minimalist Jekyll Template - Demo.
Amusingly this allowed me to provide a demo project page as the theme as not been maintained and Jekyll now requires a manifest for a theme to install successfully.
First I registered a bug Check it out here to register the issue.
$rake theme:install git=https://github.com/sergiokopplin/indigo.git
Cloning into './_theme_packages/_tmp'...

Then as is good practice I created a fork and development branch Check that out here. Which I simply created a manifest.yml file for Segio.

This means I could install the theme in local from my repository by cloning it from branch and using the Rake theme:install name=indigo command in Jekyll read more about that here
Finally before I forgot (as I commonly do) I commited the pull-request

Hopefully Sergio will merge that for anyone else to use, in the meantime my blog is up and running.
