jekyll-theme-linux

A Jekyll starter for a personal site (resume + articles + projects) styled as a Linux desktop: a top bar with a clock, a dock, desktop icons, and the whole site rendered inside a fake terminal window — tabs, minimize/maximize/close, the works.

Use this template

Click Use this template above, or:

git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/jekyll-theme-linux.git my-site
cd my-site
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Open http://localhost:4000.

Customize

In _config.yml, set:

• title, tagline, description
• url → https://USERNAME.github.io
• author.name, author.email, author.github, author.linkedin

In index.md, replace the placeholder experience, education, and skills with your own.

Optional: drop an image at assets/images/wallpaper-art.png for a faint desktop easter egg behind the window (empty by default).

Structure

• index.md — home page
• projects/ — projects page
• articles/ — articles listing page
• _posts/ — article content (YYYY-MM-DD-title.md)
• _layouts/, _includes/ — page templates and shared partials
• assets/ — styles and images
• _config.yml — site settings

Deploy to GitHub Pages

1. Push to a repo named USERNAME.github.io (for the root domain) or any other name (then set baseurl: "/repo-name" in _config.yml).
2. In the repo: Settings → Pages → Build and deployment → Source: Deploy from a branch → Branch: main / (root).
3. Your site goes live at the URL from step 1 a couple minutes later.
