How to get started on building my own jekyll template?

How do I make my own design in jekyll blog ? Currently I have the default minima theme I got by jekyll new my-blog and no idea of how to get started on designing my own posts, main etc layouts. For some reason I don't see the typical _layouts and _includes folders when I ran the jekyll new command

Then start by creating them. They are just folders. You can start a layout with this minimal structure in a file _layouts/main.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    {{ content }}
  </body>
</html>

With an "hello world" be like this:

---
layout: main
---
Hello World

Then extend the layout with whatever you want, like a normal web page: css, header, footer, ...
