Hugo Story

A (modular, highly tweakable) responsive one-page theme for Hugo.

Using

1. Install Hugo

Install Hugo (Extended Version)

This theme uses Hugo Pipes to compile SCSS & Sass so you'll have to use the extended version of Hugo. See the official Hugo Quick Start Guide for more information.

2. Create a new site

hugo new site story-examplesite

3. Clone this Git repository

cd story-examplesite
git submodule add https://github.com/caressofsteel/hugo-story.git themes/hugo-story

Hint: See a note for non-Git users here.

4. Copy data and config.toml with overwrite from exampleSite

cp -r themes/hugo-story/exampleSite/data ./
cp themes/hugo-story/exampleSite/config.toml/

Hint: Using config.toml tells Hugo to use the theme and sets some basic theme parameters.

Hint: Using data provides default content for the site.

5. Start Hugo Server

hugo server

6. Open Hugo Server in your browser

http://localhost:1313/

Here you'll see the site running on the local Hugo server. You can now make changes to and Hugo will rebuild the site automatically.

Hint: A copy of the default generated site is located in the originalStorySite folder should you need to reference it.

7. Further steps

• Change the contents of YML files in the data folder.

  • Altering banner.yml will change the top block on the site. See more details here.

• Create a custom site layout.

  • Copy the default index.html.

    cp themes/hugo-story/layouts/index.html layouts/
    

  • By manipulating the the {{ partial ... }} tags within this file you can create a custom layout for the site. See more details here.

• Continue exploring Hugo and the template!
