How can I customize my default Jekyll theme to my preferred layout or design? #21543

Hi there, You can add custom css and html files into your Jekyll site. From this page on github help, you can create a scss/css file at /assets/css/style.scss and add the following to the top of the file:
Then any custom css can be put after these lines in this file and it will be included in your site. |

Turns out jekyll-remote-theme is now whitelisted on GitHub Pages, so you can use any GitHub hosted theme with Jekyll. |
