Hi,

Thanks for the theme, it's among some of the simplest time for portfolio. While installation I notices that _includes, _layouts etc are required along with the _data folder

But in the installation readme it says that the website would work without them too...

I wasn't able to get the theme working well without the _include and _layout folder.

Can you please confirm if its the issue with instruction ? https://youssefraafatnasry.me/portfolYOU/docs/

As per the docs:

The following steps demonstrate how to use portfolYOU as GitHub Pages remote theme.

The theme's files _(like _includes, _layouts, etc.)_ are included remotely using the remote-theme plugin. This works well if you are hosting your site on GitHub Pages, not sure if it works on other hosting services by default.

If you aren't using GitHub Pages, you can still use the theme as a fork (fork it and edit the files based on your needs) or as a gem-based theme using this gem.

Please reopen if this doesn't solve your issue.

Change remote_theme in _config.yml back to YoussefRaafatNasry/portfolYOU, because this is where the theme's files are hosted, then delete the theme files as mentioned in the docs, yo won't need them: https://github.com/YoussefRaafatNasry/portfolYOU/blob/3ffc7bb278b7d182e13a7bd12f51562b88946b85/docs/_config.yml#L9
