How to add other themes for Jekyll Now?

I am using Jekyll Now on GitHub Pages.

Version 1.2.0

My question is how do I add other themes that are compatible with Jekyll Now?

Is it simply a case of adding the theme: <themename> into the _config.yml?

This is the list of themes compatible with Jekyll Now

How do I override Jekyll theme?

However, you can override any of the theme defaults with your own site content. To replace layouts or includes in your theme, make a copy in your _layouts or _includes directory of the specific file you wish to modify, or create the file from scratch giving it the same name as the file you wish to override.

How do you customize Jekyll?

You can add custom css and html files into your Jekyll site. @import "{{ site. theme }}"; Then any custom css can be put after these lines in this file and it will be included in your site.

Is Hugo better than Jekyll?

For some sites with thousands of pages, Hugo is a must because of its build speed. For others, Jekyll can be a must because of a few plugins with specific functionalities not found in Hugo. But for the majority of us, it comes down to personal preference. So, you can't really go wrong with either Jekyll or Hugo.

Jekyll Now is a theme itself for Jekyll.

You linked a set of themes 'compatible' with Jekyll now. However, that is not the case, the author states that you can use the Workflow with those other themes (i.e. fork a new repository, change the _config.yml, etc).

If you want to change the theme of Jekyll Now you would have to basically alter the whole folder structure such that you would be basically using one of those other repos.
