Introduction

Mr. Green is a multilingual theme generated with Jekyll and fully compatible with GitHub Pages.

I was going to make my website and thought if I did it as a template, I could share it with the open source community. That's why I decided to build it as a theme. I've worked so hard to make this possible, so please consider supporting my work. Thanks.

Credits

I want to thank these projects that gave me an opportunity to build my web site.

• Jekyll is a static site generator. It takes text written in your favorite markup language and uses layouts to create a static website. You can tweak the site’s look and feel, URLs, the data displayed on the page, and more. It is a wonderful project which is maintained by volunteers.

• GitHub Pages Hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just push the changes and the site will be automatically generated.

Some of the sites that I find useful while I'm working on this project. Links page.
