jekyll-theme-WuK is a Jekyll theme and starter template for personal blogs and portfolio sites, built to power the author's own site 星合の空 and released as a reusable template.
What is jekyll-theme-WuK?
jekyll-theme-WuK is a theme for Jekyll, the static site generator, created by Wu Kan (wu-kan). It accepts standard Jekyll content — Markdown posts, YAML front matter, and _config.yml — and generates a static personal website that can be hosted on GitHub Pages or any Jekyll-compatible host. The repository is titled 星合の空, which is both the author's personal site and the reference implementation of this theme.
Key Features
- Built on Jekyll — Compiles Markdown and Liquid templates into a static HTML site; compatible with GitHub Pages out of the box.
- Live2D mascot — The theme includes Live2D integration (listed in its GitHub topics), letting you add a web-based mascot to your site.
- Slide-style homepage — The author's site presents recent posts in a slide format, with vertical navigation grouping content by themes.
- Template-ready repository — The repo is explicitly "a template for jekyll-theme-WuK", meaning you can fork or use it as a starting point and replace the content with your own.
- Personal blog content structure — The included posts show typical use: dated posts with topics like competitive programming, internship interviews, and personal reflections.
- Community adoption — The repository has 242 stars on GitHub, an indicator of usage among Jekyll users.
Who is it for?
- Developers who want a personal blog — Set up a Jekyll blog with a pre-built design and Live2D flair rather than starting from scratch.
- Competitive programmers — The author uses the site to share contest retrospectives like "My ASC Finals Review", so it fits that use case well.
- Students documenting their careers — Posts like "A Young Person's First Internship Interview" show it works as a portfolio for internships and job hunting.
- Chinese-speaking writers — The entire sample content is in Chinese, making it a natural fit for Chinese-language personal blogs.
