Slate
An official GitHub Pages theme with a sleek dark sidebar and code-focused layout. Clean, professional presentation for project documentation and developer-oriented sites.
About this Theme
Slate is one of the twelve official themes supported natively by GitHub Pages, meaning you can enable it with a single line in your _config.yml — no gem installs, no local setup. Its dark slate sidebar paired with a white content area creates an immediately recognisable, professional look suited to open-source project documentation.
The code-friendly typography and syntax highlighting make it a natural fit for developer tools and API documentation pages.
Who is it for? Developers who want a fast, reliable documentation theme they can enable on any GitHub Pages project in seconds.
