I am using the minimal them in a couple simple repos. I want to add links to each page on the side of the page (above the "View the project on GitHub" button but below the logo. How can I do this?

Yeah, but how? I can see how to create direct links, but I'd like to create a navigation menu, say menu.md, then do something like {{ menu }} in the header section. Is something like that possible?

Something like this? FYI, the code is here. Feel free to use the modified theme

Oh I like that @BDHU !

Yeah, but how?

@glowkeeper I think you're asking about step 5 in the instructions @MatBenfield linked.

I can see how to create direct links, but I'd like to create a navigation menu, say menu.md, then do something like {{ menu }} in the header section. Is something like that possible?

Yes. If you put menu.md in your site's _includes directory then you can include it the same way _layouts/default.html includes _includes/head-custom.html:

{% include head-custom.html %}

Those {% %} are for Jekyll to process when jekyll build runs. Jekyll's Includes documentation says more about that include tag.

Be sure to consider where (and whether) you wish your menu to appear on narrower displays. @BDHU's example works very well; Compare it to the default contents in this repository, to see how it's been modified.

@ArnavMotwani @glowkeeper in case it'll help, I set up a demo:

This weekend I set out to add dark mode to a Minimal-themed Pages site, and got so much more. https://github.com/BDHU/bdhu.github.io is fantastic! 🙇

did you use my fork for dark mode with a minimal theme (https://github.com/godalming123/minimal) ? Your first example has the exact same colors. If you did use my fork I'm amazed to see 2 people adopt it already!

This feature should be merged into the main branch. This is one of the most important features if we require to create documentation. Let's say we want navigation on the page, we can simply add desired items on the sidebar, and the users can simply navigate.

If you are going to use minimal I would recommend using BDHU's fork it's mostly the same but adds dark mode and is still maintained

Thanks for the suggestion. I created my template based on minimal, using the minimalist theme by BDHU to add Navigation on the sidebar.
