Hello Friend

This theme was made to help you present your ideas easier. We all know how hard is to start something on the web, especially these days. You need to prepare a bunch of stuff, configure them and when that’s done — create the content.

This theme is pretty basic and covers all of the essentials. All you have to do is start typing!

Features

How to start

You can download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-hello-friend.git and pasting it to themes/hello-friend in your root directory.

You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-hello-friend.git themes/hello-friend

If you don't want to make any radical changes, it's the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. To do so, include it as a git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-hello-friend.git themes/hello-friend

How to configure

The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy config.toml file from exampleSite directory to your Hugo root directory and change params fields.

How to run your site

From your Hugo root directory run:

$ hugo server -t hello-friend

and go to localhost:1313 in your browser. From now on all the changes you make will go live, so you don't need to refresh your browser every single time.

How to edit the theme

If you really want to edit the theme, you need to install Node dependencies. To do this, go to the theme directory (from your Hugo root directory):

$ cd themes/hello-friend

and then run:

$ npm install
$ npm i yarn
$ yarn
