White Logo

If your logo image isn't recognizable in dark mode, you can set a white version of the logo in Code injection > Site Header field.

<script>
    var gh_white_logo = 'https://example.com/content/images/white-logo.png';
</script>

Development

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# Install
yarn

# Run build & watch for changes
$ yarn dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/<theme-name>.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

yarn zip
