I use the Hello Friend theme by @panr to display my personal development blog built with the Hugo static site generator. The main reason I've forked the source is to make my own enhancements to the theme while keeping up-to-date with any changes made in the source. I often contribute to the theme by making pull requests for the enhancements I make, and it's great when they're happily received.
Note -- I set the default branch of this repo to my Working branch that I use on my own site. It contains some of the improvements that were successfully pulled back to the source along with a few others that are too custom for the base theme. The master branch is in line with the original theme repo.
If you want to use this theme, I recommend cloning @panr's original repo and making your own modifications. 🙂
Second Note -- I added a Fork Sync action at .github/workflows/wf-fork-sync. If you fork or download my version of this theme, be sure to remove or change this workflow so you don't get unwanted syncing.
