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
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.

I cannot setup a new Jekyll-based GitHub pages site based on the tutorials I've read. Here is the full list of steps I took:
Ran jekyll new jek_test. This created a new dir.
Used GitHub desktop to create a git repository in that dir, then pushed it to a new git repository, jek_test.
In the project settings GitHub Pages panel, I choose master branch as source.
So far this had no effect I could see. Navigating to https://gadial.github.io/jek_test/ yielded a 404 error.
I added the following two lines to the projects Gemfile:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins
Now, after pushing to GitHub, the https://gadial.github.io/jek_test/ link is working, but the page loaded is obviously incorrect; the CSS is not loaded, the links are wrong, etc.
I guess I am missing several crucial steps, but all the tutorials I've found either go "simply push it and everything will be ok", or seem to assume I am not using a Gem-based theme, meaning all the layouts, css files etc. are explicitly stored in the _layouts directories etc.
Am I going about this the right way? What is the simplest method to get a Jekyll-generated site up and running on GitHub pages?
You are using minima which is the default so, that's not the issue but, if you have a look at your about.md you'll see that it is looking for a layout called page. You currently don't have a _layouts folder
Try creating a folder called _layouts and create a layout in that called page.html with however you want it to display the contents of all files with layout : page
The default page.html can be found here.
You will need to change url to "https://gadial.github.io" and baseurl to "/jek_test".
If this two attributes are not set up properly, Jekyll won't know where to look for your resources.
I have a jekyll blog with some static files, my blog index is generating at /blog while all the posts are getting generated at /. How can I make it so that the posts get generated inside the /blog subdirectory?
Note that I am not looking to move the whole Jekyll installation to a subdirectory as I still want my sitemap, static pages etc to be at root.
I am not sure what code to provide but I am using this theme with gulp 4 and other upgraded packages.
Change permalink in _config.yml from
permalink: /:title/
to
permalink: /blog/:title/
You can read more about permalinks in Jekyll documentation.
I recently Created a few projects on GitHub and decided to use the Jekyll theme to make nice pages.
I went to my Project Repository and in the settings activated the Theme Cayman and I can access the page from: https://<username.github.io/<my_project>/
After I also wanted to create my username page so I also created: https://<username.github.io/
In this repository i have my index.html based on jekyll css and started creating my page.
However if I go to my Projects repository I can't find where the index.md or index.html is stored so I can modify it.
The Smite-Vb page is being created from the README.md, so you would just edit the README file.
If you click "Project site" and look at step 4 on this site: https://pages.github.com/ you'll see they describe editing the readme.
If you want to do something different, you could create a docs/ folder or a gh-pages branch, see here for more info:

I'm trying to add a new post to a blog using Jekyll and Github Pages (Untouched since 08/2015)
However even though the Travis build passes, the Github Pages build fails without a single error message
I'm guessing it's about some outdated plugins, but I've got no idea what is it
// _config.yml
// Gemfile
Here's the repository:
https://github.com/wende/wende.github.io/
It turns out Github Pages use Jekyll 3.2.1 now. Which requires .config.yml"theme" property to be empty.
Changing theme to theme_settings and all references to it fixed the issue
I am very new to Jekyll and I am failing to find configuration to change the following:
I built a basic Jekyll site using jekyll new . and ran jekyll serve to learn and built a layout using Jekyll. The basic test site gives me the following URL for posts: /jekyll/update/2016/01/30/welcome-to-jekyll.html. Is the URL like that because I am running jekyll serve and not jekyll build? I want to remove the the jekyll/update from the URL path, so my final URLs for posts look like the following: /2016/01/30/welcome-to-jekyll.html.
I want my pages to be stored in a separate directory _pages instead of the root directory. How can I do that?
Is there way to prepend a path to files loaded from a specific directory? For example, I want to make a /_projects directory. Then add files with the following permalinks: /prj-test1, /prj-test2, /prj-test3. When compiled, I want to get the following URLs: /projects/prj-test1, /projects/prj-test2, /projects/prj-test3, respectively. Is this possible?
Yes, everything you asked is possible.
Take a look at these examples, you might want to choose one of them. But to do as you asked, you'll need to change the permalink to /:year/:month/:day/:title.html. To do that, add this line to your _config.yml file:
permalink: /:year/:month/:day/:title.html
It depends on the structure you want to achieve. You can use collections or simply create pages inside a folder called pages (without the underscore).
Yes. You can do that via collections, for example.
I recommend you to take a look at some templates, so you can see how the code works in different ways:
Try some Jekyll Themes here and here. Download them and study their structures.
If you want to go deep, take a look how Jekyll build its own website.
Hope to have helped!
