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.

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.

cp -r themes/your-theme-name/exampleSite/* ./
