Docu fix for jekyll + minimal-mistakes theme

https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/

1st Trail (not working)

Start with:

Its unclear where to start. I choose to start with :

  jekyll new mm-remote-theme-method 
  cd mm-remote-theme-method

Using "Remote theme methodPermalink":

watch the "note" from above in quick-start-guide, it is also needed for remote theme! (which was unclear to me at first)

jekyll-include-cache plugin which will need to be installed in your Gemfile AND added to the plugins array of _config.yml.

Therefore replace the contens of the Gemfile with:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
gem "minimal-mistakes-jekyll"
gem "jekyll-include-cache"

add this to the _config.yml:

remote_theme: "mmistakes/[email protected]" 
plugins:
  - jekyll-include-cache

and delete the theme: minima line in _config.yml as the quick-start-guide already states

then run bundleand then bundle exec jekyll serve but that doesn't work yet: I got a Liquid Exception: No repo name found.... - error.

So obviousely you need to make the working directory (which is still mm-remote-theme-method) to be a git controled repository. My way was to create a empty projekt on my github account (i called it "bt-blog" , make a git clone [email protected]:bodote/bt-blog.gitin there. Then

cd ..
cp -r mm-remote-theme-method/* bt-blog/
cd bt-blog
bundle exec jekyll serve

and voila: Server is finaly running with only minor warnings . The site is generated on http://localhost:4000 but still there are some parts missing. you need to replase in about.markdownthe line layout: page by layout: single and replase in _posts/2020-09-17-welcome-to-jekyll.markdownthe line layout: post by layout: posts

ok now the warnings disapears. but finally, when wir look the the result on http://localhost:4000 the links to the targes in the navigation (_data/navigation.yml) are broken, eg.: http://localhost:4000/posts/ leads to a "not Found" error for what ever reason. maybe becausethere

2nd trail:

we make a indentical copy from https://github.com/mmistakes/mm-github-pages-starter/ , create a new projekt with the same name on my own github account. Then we change Gemfile and remove these 2 lines:

gem "tzinfo-data"
gem "wdm", "~> 0.1.0" if Gem.win_platform?

because tzinfo-data is not really necessary and leads to a security problem at least on my MacBook. and the 2nd one is obviousely not needed for MacOS or github-pages-hosting.

And hey, it finally works on http://localhost:4000 !
