|
|
Introduction is a minimalist, highly-versatile theme for Hugo. It can be configured as a single page, or as a full-featured site with multiple sections. It is multilingual, responsive, and includes a light and dark theme.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- Multilingual - supports side-by-side content in different language versions
|
|
- Custom index page sections from Markdown files
|
|
- Projects and Blog sections
|
|
- Page load fade-in CSS effect and smooth scrolling to anchor links
|
|
- Straightforward customization via `config.toml`
|
|
- Styled Markdown throughout with syntax highlighting
|
|
|
|
Developer-friendly:
|
|
|
|
- Sass files included with instant compiling to CSS thanks to [Hugo Pipes](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/postcss/) and [PostCSS](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/postcss/)
|
|
- Thoughtful use of Sass variables makes creating new colour schemes easy
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
- Requires extended version of [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/) (latest version recommended)
|
|
|
|
To make changes to the theme CSS, extended Hugo's [PostCSS](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/postcss/) requires JavaScript packages to compile the styles. You can install them using `npm`:
|
|
|
|
- [postcss-cli](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-cli):`npm install -g postcss-cli`
|
|
- [autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer): `npm install -g autoprefixer`
|
|
|
|
[Learn how to install and use npm here](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm).
|
|
|
|
Note: If you are using [Hugo as a snap app](https://snapcraft.io/hugo), the above two Node.js packages have to be [installed locally inside `exampleSite`](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/postcss/).
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd exampleSite/
|
|
npm install postcss-cli
|
|
npm install autoprefixer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Get the theme
|
|
|
|
Run from the root of your Hugo site:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/victoriadrake/hugo-theme-introduction.git themes/introduction
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can include this repository as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules). This makes it easier to update this theme if you have your Hugo site in git as well:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git submodule add https://github.com/victoriadrake/hugo-theme-introduction.git themes/introduction
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preview the theme
|
|
|
|
Introduction ships with an fully configured example site. For a quick preview:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd themes/introduction/exampleSite/
|
|
hugo serve --themesDir ../..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then visit `http://localhost:1313/` in your browser to view the example site.
|
|
|
|
## Add content
|
|
|
|
The following explains how to add content to your Hugo site. You can find sample content in the `exampleSite/` folder.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction section
|
|
|
|
Create `index.md`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new home/index.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `title` frontmatter will be the first large heading.
|
|
|
|
The content of `index.md` will be shown as a subtitle line.
|
|
|
|
You might want to set `headless` to `true` in the frontmatter. See [headless bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/#headless-bundle) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Home page
|
|
|
|
Content for the home page lives under `content/home/`. You may add as many files as you want to in markdown format.
|
|
|
|
Each markdown file will show as a section on the home page and can be ordered by the `weight` value in the file's frontmatter. You can set `image` to show an image on the left side of the section. The image file must be in the `content/home/` folder.
|
|
|
|
You may add a contact section by creating
|
|
`contact.md`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new home/contact.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will always be shown as the last section on the home page.
|
|
|
|
## Projects section
|
|
|
|
Introduction provides an easy way to showcase your projects. Each project can even have its own gallery, shown as an image carousel.
|
|
|
|
Start by creating an index file for the projects section:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new projects/_index.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add a `title` and some optional content to the file.
|
|
Add an optional `weight` for ordering projects section.
|
|
|
|
To create a project, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new projects/YourProjectName/index.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The frontmatter of your new file contains some comments to help your configure your project.
|
|
|
|
You can set `external_link` to make the project link to another website.
|
|
|
|
Add images to your project by placing image files in the `YourProjectName/` folder. If you add more then one photo, they will display as a carousel gallery. Images will be ordered by filename. The first image will be shown as the project preview image. You can change the order of your images by adding a `weight` to that resource's parameters:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
resources:
|
|
- src: NameOfYourImage.jpg
|
|
params:
|
|
weight: -100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Blog section
|
|
|
|
Create an index file for the blog:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new blog/_index.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add an optional `weight` for ordering blog section on your homepage
|
|
|
|
Create a new blog post with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo new blog/YourEntryTitle.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Posts will also display in the Blog section of the home page.
|
|
|
|
## Configure your site
|
|
|
|
From `exampleSite/`, copy `config.toml` to the root folder of your Hugo site and change the fields as you like. Helpful comments are provided.
|
|
|
|
## Multilingual
|
|
|
|
Introduction currently ships with support for [many languages](https://github.com/victoriadrake/hugo-theme-introduction/tree/master/i18n). Contributions for other language translations are welcome.
|
|
|
|
To create a new language translation, add the `.toml` file to the `i18n/` folder. See the existing files for the necessary fields.
|
|
|
|
See the [hugo documentation](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/) for more details.
|
|
|
|

Introduction contains a default menu. If you want to override this, you can do so by defining a `menu.main` in `config.toml`.
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
## Disqus
|
|
|
|
Set `disqusshortname` in `config.toml` to activate Hugo's [internal Disqus template](https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/#disqus).
|
|
|
|
## Custom CSS
