Autm-rb

Autm-rb is a minimal Jekyll theme for publishing a static blog, providing a clean home page and a dedicated post page.

What is Autm-rb?

Autm-rb is a Jekyll theme that renders Markdown or HTML content into a static website with a home view and a post view. It is distributed through the GitHub repository railsr/autm-rb, released under the MIT License, and is designed to work with GitHub Pages. The theme is configured through the site's _config.yml file and the data files placed in the _data/ directory.

Key Features

• Simple blog layout — The theme includes a home page and a post page, as shown in the home.png and post.png screenshots.
• Jekyll standard — Uses Jekyll's standard file structure and front matter, so writing posts in Markdown works without extra tooling.
• Data-driven customization — Site-wide settings live in _config.yml, while structured content can be managed through files in _data/.
• MIT license — Free to use, modify, and redistribute in personal and commercial projects.
• Live demo — A working demo is hosted at kirqe.github.io/autm-rb so you can see the rendered output before installing.

How does Autm-rb work?
