github页面设置jekyll主题的难点

Question

I have enabled github page for my repository . I am trying to set up theme for the page using repository settings. When I selected the theme ,a _config.yml file was generated in docs folder. But no theme is there on github page. Do I need to add any other file in /docs/ folder apart from index.html and _config.yml ?

Thanks to Github support team, I got the solution. I added this front matter at the top of my HTML file, that made the theme styles applied:

---
layout: default
---

If you use Markdown, the theme would be applied automatically so converting your HTML to Markdown is another option.
