Skim

Skim is a one-page boilerplate for publishing content on GitHub. It's designed specifically for hosting on GitHub using GitHub Pages and serving up locally using Jekyll. Take a peek at the demo below and see how simple it is to roll your own site without having to use fancy code.

Roll Your Own

1. Make a fresh clone and go into the directory.

    $ git clone https://github.com/username/milk.git
    $ cd milk
   

2. Create a new gh-pages branch.

    $ git checkout --orphan gh-pages
   

3. Copy the contents from /skim to /milk.

    $ cp -r ~/skim/* ~/milk
   

4. Push your site to GitHub.
