millidocs VS minima

So, I set out to make my own. I started out with the underappreciated Millidocs theme as a base, and then edited it to support a dark theme. The completed repo is at Millidocs-Dark for any who want to see.

I started with Jekyll's default, Minima[1], to get something working right away. But then i tweaked lots of stuff, copying things i liked from other blogs[2], so it no longer resembles that default look.

you could make a _layouts directory in your project root (if you don't have one already) and copy over the minima layouts from the repo to adjust anything you need. Link: https://github.com/jekyll/minima/tree/master/_layouts

If you prefer to use Markdown, jekyll's default theme (example) for newly scaffolded websites is also quite clean.

After that, we need to display the data. Jekyll uses a theme system. By default, the used theme is minima. The theme's files are not generated in the Jekyll projects, but you can override every theme's template by creating a file with the same name in the _layouts folder.

So before doing anything, we need to look at our minima theme repository. Please make sure you look at the branch of your current version. In my case, it is the 2.5 one that is installed (you can have this info in the Gemfile file), so I am looking at the 2.5-stable branch.
