Overview

The Chirpy Starter Gem is a theme for Jekyll, a static site generator, that allows users to create modern and feature-rich websites. However, when installing the theme through RubyGems.org, Jekyll can only read certain files and configurations from the theme's gem. This can limit the out-of-the-box experience and prevent users from enjoying all the features of the Chirpy theme. To fully utilize all the features, users need to copy specific files from the theme's gem to their Jekyll site.
