# Hugo Starter Theme Dead-simple Hugo theme with everything you need to get started. Intended to be a starter for creating your own theme without including useless bloat like most Hugo themes. ## Getting started Inside your project folder, copy the theme to your `themes` folder. Since you're just using it as a starter for your theme, remove the git history. ```bash git clone https://github.com/ericmurphyxyz/hugo-starter-theme themes/your-theme-name rm -rf themes/your-theme-name/.git ``` If you'd like some example content and an example config file to get started, you can copy the `exampleSite` directory into your root Hugo directory. ```bash cp -r themes/your-theme-name/exampleSite/* ./ ``` To learn more about building themes in Hugo, refer to Hugo's [templating documentation](https://gohugo.io/templates/).
