I'm having some difficulties beginning configuration of minima theme for Jekyll. The theme is Jekyll's default, appears to be extremely popular, and the instructions in the README appear straightforward, though I can't get them to work. I might be doing something obviously wrong that someone here can see.
Here are the (annonymised) active lines from my _config.yml:
title: IT thoughts...
author:

email: <myemailaddress>
description:

baseurl: ""
url: <me>.github.io
twitter_username: <mine>
github_username: <mine>
minima:
skin: dark # having no effect
theme: minima
- no dark skin applied. So I made assets/css/ in the root of my site and copied the theme's assets/css/style.scss there, then:
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
...
style.scss:1: Error: File to import not found or unreadable: minima/skins/classic. (SassC::SyntaxError)
on line 1:1 of style.scss
>> @import
...
- what!? I have to start copying over chains of the theme's SASS to do the slightest tweak? No idea now how to follow the theme's instructions and feel like one of the million plus happy users...
