Hugo Tutorial

Based on https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/

1. Install hugo https://gohugo.io/installation/
2. Go to https://themes.gohugo.io/ and pick a theme, e.g. Terminal
3. Initialise a new site:

   hugo new site my-new-site
   cd my-new-site
   

4. Add a theme, either by downloading it, or by adding a Git submodule:

   wget https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
   unzip master.zip
   mv hugo-theme-terminal-master themes/terminal
   rm master.zip
   

5. Configure hugo to use the theme

   echo "theme = 'terminal'" >> hugo.toml
   

6. Build the website, files will be placed under the public/ folder

   hugo build
   

7. Alternatively run a live server that automatically rebuilds the website when files are changed

   hugo server
   

8. Now create some content. This will create a new page content/posts/my-first-post.md with some predefined metadata, but it's easy to create it yourself. If you are running hugo server the browser view should automatically update

   hugo new content content/posts/my-first-post.md
   

9. Now add some content to the above page.

   echo '## Hello from the cHICkens!' >> content/posts/my-first-post.md
   

10. Now modify the theme, e.g. edit [my-new-site/themes/terminal/layouts/_default/single.html](my-new-site/themes/terminal/layouts/_default/single.html) and insert some text inside the {{ main }}` block

    sed -i '' '1a\
    🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓' themes/terminal/layouts/_default/single.html
