Hugo Themes

Hugo - Classic

A minimal blog theme, for those who love text. Based off the eXtremely minimal theme by Yihui Xui.

Classic is forked from the XMin theme, written by Yihui Xie.

It provides some simplifications, highlight.js for syntax highlighting, emoji support, and slick fonts.

1: Install Hugo.

brew install hugo

2: Create a new site.

hugo new site classic

3: Change to themes dir.

cd classic/themes

4: Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:goodroot/hugo-classic.git

5: Copy files within the exampleSite directory into the classic directory. Overwrite the existing content/, static/, and config.toml files.

6: Run hugo server within classic/ and enjoy and customize to your hearts content!

To make new posts, simply use the command line:

hugo new post/good-to-great.md

To adjust the header colour, head to static/css/style.css and change…

header {
    background: #613DC1;
}

… background: to any colour value you’d like!

For header font:

header a {
    color: #fff;
}

Change color: to a nice matching colour.
