Step 5: Customize Site Details

Great work! You can see your selected theme in action here. If you don't see your changes right away, refresh the page.

Getting your page blog ready

GitHub added the theme you selected to your _config.yml file. Jekyll uses the _config.yml file to store settings for your site, like your theme, as well as reusable content like your site title and GitHub handle.

You can check out the _config.yml file on the Code tab of your repository.

⌨️ Activity: Modify the config file

Let's change the _config.yml so it's a perfect fit for your new blog. First, we need to use a blog-ready theme. For this activity, we will use a theme named minima.

1. Navigate to the Code tab of this repository, and browse to the _config.yml file.
2. In the upper right corner, click ✏️ to open the file editor.
3. Change theme: to minima and modify the other configuration variables such as title:, author:, and description: to customize your site.
4. Click Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request.
