Great theme - needs a little correction.

[Sharath Kumar]

The theme looks great @artemsheludko . But it makes an api call! I tried to see why and this is what I found in view source

<li class="github"><a href="http://github.com/{
--
  | "api_url": "https://api.github.com",

There are a lot more lines. It can be a serious performance issue.

Curiously, the problem is solved if I fill the field in the _config.yml.

There was nothing wrong in the code though. Probably Jekyll interprets empty {{site.github}} in a different way or something.

You're right. Thank you for participating.
