Select a Jekyll theme that is ready for drop-in use on Github Pages via `remote-theme` option

I'm following the suggestion from 2017 blog post one can use any theme hosted on Github to build Github pages site, just by remote-theme tag.

I have a repo with just a README.md and _config.yml. I tried two themes and they failed in own way when added to remote-theme

I realise working via supported themes or building locally is safer, but maybe someone knows popular Jekyll themes that work by remote-theme tag with minimal configuraton.

The default theme for Github Pages is primer.

Try adding _config.yml:

remote-theme: pages-themes/primer

The behaviour is just like as if you started Github Pages without any special theme, however you can get access to some of site config variables.
