A few of the basic concepts to get the most out of using this theme.
Create a new markdown file in the ./content/articles directory:
hugo new articles/my-new-article.md
Create a new page in the ./content/page directory:
hugo new page/my-new/page.md
Follow the same steps for notes and projects.
Write your Sass inside ./assets/scss.
With the server running (npm start) Hugo will watch your Sass for changes, then pipe them to ./public/css/main.css and reload the browser.
To make changes to the layout head to ./themes/hc-starter where you will find /layouts. Inside there you will find templates for partials, shortcodes and taxonomies.
