Template Details
This is a Jekyll theme for personal blogs. The repository describes it as a "Simple Jekyll theme for personal blog" and states compatibility with GitHub Pages. To use it, add remote_theme: tkers/jekyll-theme-zero to _config.yml, allowing GitHub Pages to load the theme remotely without copying theme files into the project.
Running locally requires a Ruby environment: first install bundler, then run bundle install to install dependencies, then start with bundle exec jekyll serve. The blog is served at localhost:4000 by default. The README also provides the command bundle update github-pages to update the github-pages gem.
The available information does not specify which layouts, components, or configuration options the theme includes, nor does it provide a feature list for posts, navigation, pagination, comments, etc. These aspects should be verified against the actual repository files.

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.
