Missing footer copyright in home page

[zemien]

The footer copyright message is not appearing in the home page. It works in all other pages. You can see that on the demo site https://themes.gohugo.io/theme/hermit/

Home page didn't use the default footer template, because I don't want the home page footer to be too long. This is more like a personal preference. If you like, add {{ .Site.Params.footerCopyright | safeHTML }} inside layouts/index.html#L23

Fair enough. What are your thoughts about making it a configurable on/off element? I want to avoid customizing the theme directly because it will complicate me pulling new changes in the future.

I can raise a PR for this if you're open to the idea.

To make it simple, it's fine to display footer copyright in home page using config. The homepage footer is part of layouts/index.html, it's more likely to get updated. but the general footer template is a partial, it can be easily overrode.
