Pristine

A clean and elegant theme for Hugo

Things you need to put on your config.toml

baseURL = "http://yourwebsite.com/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "My Awesome Site"
canonifyURLs = true
enableEmoji = true
googleAnalytics = "UA-XXXXXX-1"

Replace that googleAnalytics variable with one of your own.

Then clone the this repo in your themes directory:

cd themes
git clone https://github.com/sakibccr/pristine.git

Then set the theme variable in your config file:

theme = "pristine"

You must put an image in a directory called img inside your static directory. Then you must put the path of that image in the portrait variable like so:

[params]
    portrait = "img/portrait.jpg"

You can set up your main menu. You must create a _index.md file in your content directory. Then you can make other directories inside the content directory and set your menu url accordingly.

Example:

[[menu.main]]
  name = "Home"
  url = "/"
  weight = 1

[[menu.main]]
  name = "All Articles"
  url = "/all/"
  weight = 2

In the above case, you must create a directory called all inside content and create a _index.md there. That will then show all of your posts in one page.

Then there is a menu called Projects. You can create it like bellow:

[[menu.projects]]
  name = "My awesome project"
  url = "https://myawesomeproject.com"
  weight = 1

Another last thing is you can set your social profiles links in the config and they will show up in your site. You can do that like this:

[[params.social]]
    title = "Email"
    url = "mailto:[e-mail]"
[[params.social]]
    title = "Follow @johndoe"
    url = "https://twitter.com/johndoe"
[[params.social]]
    title = "Github"
    url = "https://github.com/johndoe"
[[params.social]]
    title = "Facebook"
    url = "https://facebook.com/johndoe"
