About
Supports Ghost version 3.x, 4.x.
Theme Installation
Log in to the Ghost dashboard of your blog by visiting yourblog.com/ghost.
Go to Design in the sidebar, and upload your theme there. 
Once uploaded. Click on Activate now button to activate the theme immediately or Close if you want to activate it later.
Theme Development
The theme uses Gulp and Node.js for development purposes. You'll need Node.js v10.15.0 installed on your machine. (If you're on a different version of Node, we recommend using NVM to get the correct version of node on your machine.)
Once you have node installed, run the following commands from the theme root directory. 
1
# To install node modules
2
npm install
3
​
4
# To compile and watch for changes in SCSS and JS files
5
npm run dev
Copied!
Now you can edit the SCSS and JS files in /assets/src/ , which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically. 
To generate a production ready theme zip file, run the following command. It will minify all the CSS & JS files and package the theme into dist/<theme-name>.zip .
1
# To generate production ready theme zip file.
2
# check the /dist folder after completion. 
3
npm run build
Copied!
