Alcor Jekyll documentation
Updating Alcor
Get new versions of Alcor, whether you copied the template, use it as a remote theme or as a gem.
How you update depends on how you installed Alcor. New versions are listed on the releases page.
Remote theme
remote_theme: Tortoiz-Themes/alcor-jekyll always uses the newest version, so your site updates the next time it builds. To stay on one version until you choose to move, add the version tag:
remote_theme: Tortoiz-Themes/alcor-jekyll@v1.0.0Gem
Run bundle update jekyll-theme-alcor, then build again.
Template copy
A copy made with “Use this template” has no link back to Alcor, so it doesn’t update itself. To take a fix, copy the changed files from the repository into yours. Theme files live in _layouts/, _includes/ and assets/fonts/, apart from your own pictures and drawings.
Your content is in _config.yml and index.md, so copying theme files never overwrites it. If you changed a theme file yourself, compare before you copy.
After updating
Read the release notes for anything new in _config.yml or a section’s fields, and check your page on a phone and in dark mode.
