Dev — A Jekyll Theme for Developers
An open-source Jekyll theme for developers — fast, minimal, PWA-ready, and live on GitHub Pages in minutes.
A personal site shouldn't need a build pipeline you babysit. Dev is an open-source Jekyll theme for developers who want a portfolio, a blog, and a projects page that load instantly, edit in Markdown, and deploy free on GitHub Pages.
Why it exists
Most developer themes are either a wall of gradients or a bare pre tag. Dev is the middle: a well-kept terminal — monospace where it counts, real typography where it reads.
- Zero-config start — clone, edit
_config.yml, push. - Markdown-native — posts, projects and pages are just
.mdfiles. - Fast by default — no framework, no runtime, one request to first paint.
- Dark & light — respects
prefers-color-schemewith a toggle. - PWA ready — installable and offline-capable.
What's inside
- Home layout with bio and featured work
- Blog with tags and an RSS feed
- Projects grid driven by
_data/projects.yml - About / resume page
- SEO, Open Graph and a sitemap, wired up
