Beautiful Jekyll
Jekyll theme for personal websites, blogs and project websites, set up by forking a repository on GitHub or by adding a Ruby gem.
beautifuljekyll.comrepositorydocspricing
Beautiful Jekyll is a Jekyll theme for personal websites, blogs and project websites. It is built on top of Jekyll, and the homepage says it is powered by GitHub Pages and Jekyll. The getting-started page gives two routes: forking the repository on GitHub, where GitHub Pages builds the site, or adding the beautiful-jekyll-theme Ruby gem to a Jekyll project. The README says more than 50,000 people use the theme.
Worth knowing
The README says no support is given for the Ruby gem route. Some extras are sold as sponsor plans on the project’s plans page.
