Template Details
Israh is a Jekyll theme adapted by the author from the Ezora theme, positioned for text-focused blogs. It uses warm gray tones and a single-column layout, and intentionally downplays header images so posts can be published without accompanying images. The theme's layout and Sass structure remain lean, with width and height values centralized as variables at the top of css/main.scss for easy adjustment. The navigation menu is generated from a list of links in _config.yml. Installation is done by forking the repository and replacing it with your own content. The theme is open source under the MIT license, the repository provides a preview screenshot by the author, and a demo site is available to see it in action.

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.

Source file / repository# Israh Theme for Jekyll Israh is a responsive Jekyll theme with warm greys, a single column layout, and not much else. This theme is an evolution of my [Ezora jekyll theme](https://github.com/ezrasavard/ezora-jekyll-theme) that reflects my own changing tastes. Most notably, Israh takes the focus off of header images so I don't have to find them for posts that don't need them. ### [Try Israh](https://ezrasavard.github.io/israh-jekyll-theme) Feel free to use this theme however you like (MIT License). ## Screenshots  ## Installation Just fork this repository and add your own content =). ## Usage Like Ezora, Israh uses a fairly minimal set of layouts and sass. Width/height values are all defined in the top of css/main.scss as variables, so you don't have to hunt too far through the SCSS to tweak things. The navigation menu is generated from the list of links in _config.yml. ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/ezrasavard/israh-jekyll-theme. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the [Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org) code of conduct. ## License The theme is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
