how to edit css and html for github pages, jekyll + minima theme

I've re-read the instructions several times and searched these forums for answers; apologies if I'm missing something really obvious.

I can't get CSS or HTML templates to work on my GitHub pages site. I get the following error for the template:

The page build failed for the `master` branch with the following error:

A file was included in `/_layouts/home.html` that is a symlink or does not exist in your `_includes` directory. For more information, see https://help.github.com/en/articles/page-build-failed-file-is-a-symlink.

The CSS I've tried, just turning the background black, also doesn't seem to work.

The test site is located here: https://prismspecs.github.io/

The issue is because of a mismatch between your _layouts/home.html and theme. The layout is asking for three includes which do not exist in your repository nor inside the jekyll-theme-minimal.

The solution is to either remove the custom layout or add the three includes to your repo.
