Installation

All dependencies are saved in the Gemfile. Run bundle install (Install Bundler if it is not already) after cloning the repo.

Edit Theme

I made everything as easy as possible to edit. Most things can be found in the _config.yml, but if more editing is required digging through the code will be required. The head.html file is in the _includes folder and the Sass variables are found in the _base.scss file in the _sass folder.
