Action Shots

Installation

• Fork this repository
• Clone it: git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/lagom
• Install the GitHub Pages gem (includes Jekyll): bundle install
• Run the jekyll server: jekyll serve

You should have a server up and running locally at http://localhost:4000.

Customization

Next you'll want to change a few things. Most of them can be changed directly in theme.yml. That's where you can add your social links, change the accent color, stuff like that.

There's a few other places that you'll want to change, too:

• CNAME: If you're using this on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name, you'll want to change this to be the domain you're going to use. All that should be in here is a domain name on the first line and nothing else (like: example.com).
• favicon.png: This is the icon in your browser's address bar. You should change it to whatever you'd like.
• logo.png: A square-ish image that appears in the upper-left corner

Deployment

You should deploy with GitHub Pages - it's just easier.

All you should have to do is rename your repository on GitHub to be username.github.io. Since everything is on the gh-pages branch, you should be able to see your new site at http://username.github.io.

Licensing

MIT with no added caveats, so feel free to use this on your site without linking back to me or using a disclaimer or anything silly like that.
