What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Front end uses Bootstrap and Leaflet, aimed at web map pages
README provides installation steps and local development workflow
For publishing, only the _layouts, _includes, _sass, and assets directories are packaged
MIT licensed, repository includes an online demo and screenshots
Template Details
This is a Jekyll theme for a web mapping site template. The repository description reads "A website template for web mapping production powered by Jekyll + Bootstrap + Leaflet", meaning Jekyll generates static pages while the front end combines Bootstrap and Leaflet to display maps. The template is published as a Ruby gem, which can be included via a Gemfile and used after declaring the theme in _config.yml.
The Usage section in the README is still a TODO and does not provide specific details about layouts, includes, Sass, or static assets. Therefore, the confirmable information centers on installation and the development workflow: local development follows the usual Jekyll site process, running bundle install and then bundle exec jekyll serve to preview at localhost:4000; for publishing, only the Git-tracked _layouts, _includes, _sass, and assets directories are packaged. The repository provides an online demo link and screenshots, and the license is MIT.

Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run `bundle exec jekyll serve` and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000`. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. 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.
When your theme is released, only the files in `_layouts`, `_includes`, `_sass` and `assets` tracked with Git will be bundled.
To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in `jekyll-webmaps-simple-theme.gemspec` accordingly.
