Template Details
Revolve is a Jekyll theme published by Themefisher, positioned as a personal blog or portfolio site, ported from the Revolve HTML template of the same name. The repository is a public GitHub repository, and the code is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, distribution, and commercial use.
The theme centralizes configuration for many page sections in _data/settings.yml. The configurable items listed in the README include general theme settings (name, logo, email, phone, address), as well as sections such as Hero, About, Team, Skills, Experience, Education, Services, Portfolio, Testimonials, Client Slider, and Contact, indicating it is better suited for single-page section-based presentation of personal experience, skills, services, and works. The README also mentions that the template comes preconfigured with the Git-based headless CMS Sitepins, which allows visual editing of text, images, and configuration.
Usage limitations should be noted: the README explicitly states that the demo images are for display only, their copyright does not belong to the theme, and they cannot be used under the code's MIT license. The theme itself does not provide a dependency list in the materials, so specific Jekyll or plugin versions are not listed here. The repository has few stars, and the issue feedback section in the README is mistakenly written as Kross Theme, which is a documentation flaw.

Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.

- 2
To run locally, enter the theme directory and run bundle install to install dependencies, then start the service with jekyll serve or bundle exec jekyll serve
- 3

- 4

How this score is calculated
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.

## Setup
To start your project, fork this repository
After forking the repo, your site will be live immediately on your personal Github Pages account, e.g. `https://yourusername.github.io/your-repo-name/`.
Make sure GitHub Pages is enabled for your repo. It might take some time for the site to propagate entirely.
## Customize
Things you can customize in `_data/settings.yml` (no HTML/CSS):
- Theme General Settings ( name, logo, email, phone, address )
- Hero Section
- About Section
- Team Section
- Skills Section
- Experience Section
- Education Section
- Services Section
- Portfolio Section
- Testimonials Section
- Client Slider Section
- Contact Section
## Deployment
To run the theme locally, navigate to the theme directory and run `bundle install` to install the dependencies, then run `jekyll serve` or `bundle exec jekyll serve` to start the Jekyll server.
I would recommend checking the [Deployment Methods](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/deployment-methods/) page on Jekyll's website.
