Solo is a minimal theme for Ghost focused on showcasing the work of an individual writer or creator. This theme is not Solo, which I would reccomend using, but an extremely janky off-shoot worked on by some dickhead with a film and media studies degree. I'm sorry.

1. Suffer.
2. Download this instead
3. Log into Ghost, and go to the Design settings area to upload the zip file

Edition styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# Install
yarn

# Run build & watch for changes
yarn dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/solo.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

yarn zip
