Geekdoc

Geekdoc is a simple Hugo theme for documentations. It is intentionally designed as a fast and lean theme and may not fit the requirements of complex projects. If a more feature-complete theme is required there are a lot of good alternatives out there. You can find a demo and the full documentation at https://geekdocs.de.

Build and release process

This theme is subject to a CI driven build and release process common for software development. During the release build, all necessary assets are automatically built by webpack and bundled in a release tarball. You can download the latest release from the GitHub release page.

Due to the fact that webpack and npm scripts are used as pre-processors, the theme cannot be used from the main branch by default. If you want to use the theme from a cloned branch instead of a release tarball you’ll need to install webpack locally and run the build script once to create all required assets.

# install required packages from package.json
npm install

# run the build script to build required assets
npm run build

# build release tarball
npm run pack

See the Getting Started Guide for details about the different setup options.
