On GitHub

GitHub - for your user account pages or repository gh-pages - only supports a limited set of themes.

Therefore, you need to use the 'remote_theme:' setting instead of 'theme:', which is supported by a 3rd party plugin.

Put this in your Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-remote-theme'

and run bundle install to install the plugin.

Add the following to your site's _config.yml to activate the plugin and to select this theme:

plugins:
  - jekyll-remote-theme

remote_theme: heiswayi/the-plain

This will grab the theme directly from the GitHub repo.

Now copy some of the settings from this repo's _config.yml file to your own, and modify them.
