This project contains the source code for the theme used on my blog.
This theme is based on the on the Hugo theme hugo-minimalist-theme that by the way is based on the Minimalistic Ghost theme made by Raphael Riegger am.
Noteworthy features of this Hugo theme are the integration of a comment-system powered by Disqus, easy localization (l10n), Google Analytics, support for RSS feeds, tags and categories, syntax highlighting for source code and sharing options in the blog posts.
If you want to use this theme for an actual website create a new Hugo project and clone the theme:
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/hugo-minimalist-theme.git
Note: make sure to remove themesDir = "../.."
from the top of your config file if you copied it from exampleSite/config.toml
.
Otherwise, Hugo will be unable to find the theme.
For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.
Take a look inside the exampleSite
folder of this theme.
You'll find a file called config.toml
.
To use it, copy the config.toml
to the root folder of your Hugo site.
Play around with the settings to tweak your site as you like.
Localization allows you to easily translate all strings in our website.
Within exampleSite/data
you'll find a file called l10n.toml
.
If you're not blogging in English replace all strings with their equivalents of your preferred language.
