I'd strongly recommend you to fork accent and use the "upstream" strategy described on this page to keep accent up to date.
If you don't want to do that, just clone accent and use
bundle exec jekyll servein the root of the accent directory, or, simply download accent.
You can edit the variables in _config.yml as per your needs. Edit only the variables under the section marked User Settings.
Most of the variables are self explanatory. Notes about few of the non obvious ones:
-
You can change the hex value of the variable
$accent-colorin_sass/_style.scssto any color value that you want. This will change the accent of the theme. -
Set
intrototrueto reveal a short bio section on the index page. -
Setting
about_footerto true or false will turn theaboutsection at the bottom of every post to on or off respectively. -
descriptionis the summary that will show up in places like facebook thumbnails, twitter cards and google search results.
Note: Don't change any variable under Build Settings.
- To create a new post, simply save the
.markdownfile in the_postsdirectory in the format.
year-month-day-name-of-the-file.markdown

For Syntax highlighting, accent uses Rouge which is the default highlighter in Jekyll 3 and above. If you don't know how to highlight a code block, refer.

To set up Google Analytics tracking id, just set the
tracking_idvariable in_config.yml.
