I designed this simple minimalistic theme keeping one thing in mind that the content should shine more than anything else. Also, i optimized it a bit using Google pagespeed module so it should be very fast on all platforms.
##Usage:
First, clone this repo to your own github account and rename the repo as .github.com
In-order to use the theme, go to .config.yml and replace all of the fields with your own content:
title: <your name>
description: My weblog
logo: <yourlogo>
disqus_shortname:
#Comment out url when working locally to resolve base urls correctly
#url:
# Owner/author information
owner:
name: <your name>
avatar: <your avatar>
email:
# Social networking links used in footer. Update and remove as you like.

Also, replace the content in _posts and add your own blog posts.
You could check how the blog looks by doing
