snippet-book

snippet-book is a Jekyll blog theme based on jekyll-theme-console with a few changes:

• Catpucchin theme defaults for light and dark mode
• User's preferred style (light/dark) is used by default

Previews

🌻 Latte

🪴 Frappé

🌺 Macchiato

🌿 Mocha

Usage

_config.yaml

In addition to jekyll's default configuration options, you can provide:

• style_light and style_dark to specify which predefined style (colors) should be used for light and dar modes

style_light: "latte" # available options: latte, frappe, macchiato, mocha
style_dark: "macchiato" # available options: latte, frappe, macchiato, mocha

front matter variables

Besides the predefined front matter variables from jekyll this theme also supports following variables:

• title to set a title for the page
• lang to specify the language, defaults to 'en'
• robots to control the robot meta tag (details) - this may be useful for example to set NOINDEX to tag pages

Customization

If you want to customize this theme, follow this steps:

1. Fork this repository (you can use the fork as your own theme or directly as your website)
2. Create or modify files in _layouts directory for html-based changes
3. Create or modify files in _sass under assets for css-based changes
   • You can change things which are used in light and dark theme (like font-size) in _sass/base.scss. You'll find style variables at the top.
   • Catppuccin colours are under assets/_sass/colours/_<name-of-theme>.scss. These varaibles are then used to specify theme-specific colours in _sass/theme/_theme-<name-of-theme>.scss.

Development

To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.
