GitHub Pages and Jekyll

I decided to use GitHub Pages to host some information online. The system is fairly simple to use:

• create a repository with some markdown
• configure the settings of that repository to have GitHub render it to HTML using Jekyll.

For my first try, I used a basic README.md file. Then I picked the Slate theme – one of the pre-configured themes. But I found it a bit too limited. So I decided to use the “Minimal Mistakes” template.
