Hugo Story

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

Hugo Story is a port of the static HTML template Story by HTML5 UP. It is designed to mirror the look and feel of the original template as closely as possible while incorporating some of the features Hugo has to offer.

This theme is designed for those who are comfortable editing HTML and integrating Hugo short codes and variables to customize the theme to their liking.

Using

1. Install Hugo

   This theme uses Hugo Pipes to compile SCSS & Sass so you'll have to use the extended version of Hugo.
   Install Hugo (Extended Version)

   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 themes/exampleSite to the main directory:

   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 some default contents for the site.

5. Start Hugo server:

   hugo server
   

6. Open Hugo site in your browser http://localhost:1313/

   Now you should see the orginal Story site. You can also take a look into it in folder originalStorySite.

7. Further steps

   • Change the contents of folder data. E.g. by altering banner.yml you can change the top block on the site. See more details here.

   • Copy default index.html:

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

     Now you can create your own structure of the site by manipulating {{ partial ... }} tags. See more details here.

   • Continue exploring Hugo and the template!
