Chalk is a free, customizable, and performant Jekyll blog theme written with SCSS and Liquid templates. It ships with dark/light modes, tag filtering, SEO and sitemap support, and a publish script for deploying to GitHub Pages.
Use cases
- set up a personal blog with Jekyll
- find a customizable Jekyll theme for GitHub Pages
- create a developer blog with dark mode and code highlighting
- start a static site blog with SEO and RSS built in
- deploy a Jekyll blog to GitHub Pages with a publish script
- add tag filtering and Disqus comments to a Jekyll blog
When to choose
- you want a polished, ready-made Jekyll blog theme with minimal setup
- you host on GitHub Pages and want an automated gh-pages deploy flow
- you need dark/light theming, tag navigation, and SEO out of the box
When to avoid
- you need a theme compatible with GitHub Pages' native Jekyll build (Chalk uses unsupported plugins)
- you are not using Jekyll or a Ruby-based static site workflow
- you need a highly dynamic site with server-side rendering or a CMS backend
