Template Details
forest-time-jekyll is a Jekyll static blog theme published by claudiuconstantin, positioned in the repository as a "simple theme" for building static blogs. The repository contains more than the theme itself: it also includes the content needed to test the theme, the configuration for packaging the theme as a gem, and a sample Jekyll site in the test-gem folder used to verify the packaged gem in a real site. The published gem is available on RubyGems as version 0.1.0.pre.beta.
Usage follows the standard Jekyll theme workflow: first run bundle to install dependencies, then run bundle exec jekyll serve, and open http://localhost:4000 in a browser to view the local site. After that, you can add pages, documentation, data, and other content in the usual Jekyll way to test the theme; after modifying the theme or content, the site regenerates and refreshing the browser shows the changes.
The theme code is open source under the MIT License, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution; when distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, you must retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice. Note that the MIT license covers this version of the code itself; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services such as domains and hosting, must be checked separately under their own licenses or fee rules.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Jekyll as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

Here you can find anything you need to test the theme, package a gem containing the theme and test that gem in a sample Jekyll site; you can find an example in the `test-gem` folder. The published gem is [here](https://rubygems.org/gems/forest-time-jekyll/versions/0.1.0.pre.beta). To get started just run `bundle`, then `bundle exec jekyll serve` and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000`. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme.

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. ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on [GitHub](https://github.com/claudiuconstantin/forest-time-jekyll/issues).
