Updating the GitHub Page Theme

This blog runs on jekyll. For the theme, it uses minimal mistake. This theme is updated quite actively, and since I’m just riding along to get a nice-looking blog, I need to keep up with the theme updates whenever I find time between blogging sessions. Here’s how to update the theme. Since I host my blog on GitHub Pages, I used the approach of updating with git.

1. Register the upstream branch

After registering the master branch of the minimal mistake repository as a remote,

git remote add upstream https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes.git

2. pull

Pull the changes.

git pull upstream master

3. Resolve merge conflicts

4. Commit and push

Done!
