# Hugo theme Hermit - V2
|
||
|
||
Initially, when I started my Blog journey, I was enthralled by this very theme and I am using it since. However, original developer has ceased maintaining the theme and it is riddled with many bugs. Hence, I have taken upon myself to maintain this theme.
|
||
|
||
I fully intend to keep the essence of the theme as-it-is and only add minor updates and squash bugs which may arise.
|
||
|
||
> Let's make __Hermit__ great again
|
||
|
||
DEMO : [Hermit-V2](https://1bl4z3r.github.io/hermit-V2/)
|
||
|
||
GoHugo Theme Page : [https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/hermit-v2/](https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/hermit-v2/)
|
||
|
||
### Installation
|
||
|
||
Run this command from the root of your Hugo directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://github.com/1bl4z3r/hermit-V2 themes/hermit-v2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or, if your Hugo site is already in git, you can include this repository as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules). This makes it easier to update this theme. For this you need to run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git submodule add https://github.com/1bl4z3r/hermit-V2 themes/hermit-v2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Custom CSS and JS
|
||
|
||
I have found that there are some requirement where custom CSS and JS should be supplied to a page to make it work. This custom files are not required for whole of the site, but is restricted to a page or few particular pages. E.g. If you make contact form.
|
||
|
||
To provision for the same, I have added custom css and js. Please add this to page frontmatter as required.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
custom_css = ["css/foo.css","css/bar.css"]
|
||
custom_js = ["js/custom-about.js"]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The files itself will reside in `static/css` for CSS files and `static/js` for JS files. Refer to [Staging Branch](https://github.com/1bl4z3r/hermit-V2/tree/staging) to have a feel on how [this](https://github.com/1bl4z3r/hermit-V2/blob/staging/content/about-hugo.md) is implemented.

# Original README
|
||
|
||
Hermit is a minimal and fast theme for Hugo. It's built for bloggers who want a simple and focused website.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
* A single-column layout and carefully crafted typography offers a great reading experience.
|
||
* Navigations and functions are placed in the bottom bar which will hide when you scroll down.
|
||
* Featured image is supported. It will be displayed as a dimmed background of the page.
|
||
* Displays all of your posts on a single page, with one section per year, simple and compact.
|
||
* Extremely lightweight and load fast. No third party framework, no unnecessary code.
|
||
* All code fields feature syntax highlighting and a code-copy function
|
||
* Responsive & Retina Ready. Scales gracefully from a big screen all the way down to the smallest mobile phone. Assets in vector format ensures that it looks sharp on high-resolution screens.

||
## Getting started
|
||
|
||
### Installation
|
||
|
||
Run this command from the root of your Hugo directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ git clone https://github.com/Track3/hermit.git themes/hermit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or, if your Hugo site is already in git, you can include this repository as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules). This makes it easier to update this theme. For this you need to run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ git submodule add https://github.com/Track3/hermit.git themes/hermit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with git, you can download the theme as a `.zip` file, unzip the theme contents, and then move the unzipped source into your `themes` directory.
|
||
|
||
For more information, read the official [documentation](https://gohugo.io/themes/installing-and-using-themes/) of Hugo.
|
||
|
||
### Configuration
|
||
|
||
The example config file can be found in the theme's `exampleSite` folder. You can just copy the `config.toml` to the root directory of your Hugo site. There are instructions in the example config file, feel free to change strings as you like to customize your website.
|
||
|
||
#### Favicon
|
||
|
||
Use [RealFaviconGenerator](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) to generate these files, put them into your site's `static` folder:
|
||

|

#### Social icons

|
||

|
||
|
||
### Manage content
|
||
|
||
* Keep your regular pages in the `content` folder. To create a new page, run `hugo new page-title.md`
|
||
* Keep your blog posts in the `content/posts` folder. To create a new post, run `hugo new posts/post-title.md`
|
||
|
||
### More customizations
|
||
|
||
#### Overriding templates
|
||
|
||
In Hugo, layouts can live in either the project’s (root) or the themes’ layout folders, any template inside the root layout folder will override theme's layout that relative to it, for example: `layouts/_default/baseof.html` will override `themes/hermit/layouts/_default/baseof.html`. So, you can easily customize the theme without edit it directly, which makes updating the theme easier. Here's some common customizations:
|
||
|
||
##### Customize social icons
|
||
You can modify or add any svg icons in site's `layouts/partials/svg.html`.
|
||
|
||
##### Customize comment system
|
||
We only have built-in support for Disqus at the moment, if that doesn't fit your needs, you can just add html to site's `layouts/partials/comments.html`.
|
||
|
||
##### Add custom analytics
|
||
If you prefer to use different analytics system other than google analytics, then add them inside `layouts/partials/analytics.html`.
|
||
|
||
#### Customize CSS
|
||
|
||
If you'd like to customize theme color or fonts, you can simply override `assets/scss/_predefined.scss`, by simply copy it to site's root (keep the same relative path) then edit those variables. But keep in mind, you'll need **Hugo extended version** which has the ability to rebuild SCSS. You don't have to use extended version in production but in this case it's necessary to make sure the `resources` folder is committed and "up to date" (by running `hugo` or `hugo server` locally using the extended version). But anyway, always use the extended version if you can.
|
||
|
||
#### Code injection
|
||
|
||
You can inject any html code to every page's document head or right above the closing body tag. This makes it easier to add any html meta data, custom css/js, dns-prefetch etc. To do this you simply need to create a file at site's `layouts/partials/extra-head.html` or `layouts/partials/extra-foot.html`, code inside will be injected to every page.
