The easiest way to create a new theme is copying the code from jinya-testing-theme. It contains all needed files.
You can also create the structure by hand. To support all features of Jinya you need to create the following file structure:
your-theme-name
├── 404.phtml
├── blog-category.phtml
├── blog-home-page.phtml
├── blog-post.phtml
├── form.phtml
├── gallery.phtml
├── home.phtml
├── layout.phtml
├── profile.phtml
├── segment-page.phtml
├── simple-page.phtml
├── LICENSE
├── Preview.jpg
├── theme.php

├── frontend.scss
└── _variables.scssThe different files are used for different types of content.
