Template Details
This is a Jekyll blog project. In the description, the author states that the site is built with the Chirpy theme, and the repository contents come from the Chirpy Starter template. The README explains the template's purpose: when installing the Chirpy theme via RubyGems, Jekyll can only read the /_data, /_layouts, /_includes, /_sass, and /assets directories from the theme gem, along with some options in /_config.yml. Therefore, the template extracts key files such as _config.yml, _plugins, _tabs, and index.html, as well as the continuous deployment workflow, so you can start writing directly.
The repository itself is the author's personal blog instance, with a demo address at luizclaro.com. The repository does not provide additional customization instructions or configuration documentation. Usage follows the Chirpy theme documentation. Before installation, you need to prepare the base environment according to the official Jekyll documentation and install Git.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, which allows free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code. When distributing, you must retain the copyright notice and the full MIT license notice. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification. External services such as domains and hosting may incur separate charges.

Source file / repository# Chirpy Starter [](https://rubygems.org/gems/jekyll-theme-chirpy) [][mit] When installing the [**Chirpy**][chirpy] theme through [RubyGems.org][gem], Jekyll can only read files in the folders `/_data`, `/_layouts`, `/_includes`, `/_sass` and `/assets`, as well as a small part of options of the `/_config.yml` file from the theme's gem. If you have ever installed this theme gem, you can use the command `bundle info --path jekyll-theme-chirpy` to locate these files. The Jekyll team claims that this is to leave the ball in the user’s court, but this also results in users not being able to enjoy the out-of-the-box experience when using feature-rich themes. To fully use all the features of **Chirpy**, you need to copy the other critical files from the theme's gem to your Jekyll site. The following is a list of targets: ```shell . ├── _config.yml ├── _plugins ├── _tabs └── index.html ``` To save you time, and also in case you lose some files while copying, we extract those files/configurations of the latest version of the **Chirpy** theme and the [CD][CD] workflow to here, so that you can start writing in minutes. ## Prerequisites Follow the instructions in the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installation of the basic environment. [Git](https://git-scm.com/) also needs to be installed. ## Installation Sign in to GitHub and [**use this template**][use-template] to generate a brand new repository and name it `USERNAME.github.io`, where `USERNAME` represents your GitHub username. Then clone it to your local machine and run: ``` $ bundle ``` ## Usage Please see the [theme's docs](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy#documentation). ## License This work is published under [MIT][mit] License.
