Initialize Config

Add a _config.yml file to your docs directory. That can either be the repository root, or /docs. Specify this theme as the remote_theme.

remote_theme: zendesk/jekyll-theme-zendesk-garden@main

Note, the @main version pin is required because GitHub pages currently only looks for the latest remote_theme on the remote repositories master branch.

That’s it! This will setup the minimal theme to be active once you enable GitHub pages in your repo settings.

Version Pinning

You can also specify a specific version if you don’t want a rebuild to change your theme without you knowing about it.

remote_theme: zendesk/jekyll-theme-zendesk-garden@v0.3.0
