Minima is the default, one-size-fits-all Jekyll theme designed for writers, providing ready-made layouts for home pages, posts, and static pages. It ships as a Ruby gem and works with zero configuration out of the box with any new Jekyll site.

Use cases

• start a personal blog with Jekyll quickly
• find a clean minimal theme for a static site
• customize a simple Jekyll theme for writing
• set up a zero-configuration Jekyll site
• style a documentation or writing site with SCSS
• use the default theme that ships with jekyll new

When to choose

• you want a simple, minimal blog or writing site with minimal setup
• you are new to Jekyll and want the default, well-documented theme
• you prefer a lightweight theme you can override and customize via SCSS

When to avoid

• you need a complex, feature-rich theme with heavy JavaScript or app-like UI
• you need a guaranteed stable master branch - it is mid-development toward a breaking major release
• you are not using Jekyll or a Ruby-based static site generator
