## What it is
Hacker is a Jekyll theme with a green-on-black hacker aesthetic designed for GitHub Pages sites. It is distributed as a Ruby gem and configurable via _config.yml with customizable styles and layouts.

## Use cases

- set up a quick personal site on GitHub Pages

## When to choose
- you host on GitHub Pages and want a zero-config terminal-style theme
- you want a lightweight, well-maintained Jekyll theme installable via remote_theme

## When to avoid
- you need a non-Jekyll static site generator
- you want a modern light-theme design or complex component library
