Ghostwriter

Enhanced port of the Ghost "ghostwriter" theme to the Hugo site generator, personalised from Juraj Bubniak's Ghostwriter theme.

Installation

Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

$ mkdir themes
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/am1t/ghostwriter.git

For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.

Development

After installing the theme you need to install javascript dependencies. You can use npm or yarn to install them from package.json. webpack is used to build and package the styles. In order to develop with realtime reloading of the style in the browser, the powerful commands can be used together.

hugo server
yarn run watch

To update theme styles edit the styles/style.scss file. You can then either use the watch command of yarn or npm or run build to compile the styles:

yarn run build
