# Hugo theme Hermit
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
* 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 (Git needs to be installed):
|
||
|
||
```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/de/v1/Git-Tools-Submodule). 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:
|
||
|
||
* android-chrome-192x192.png
|
||
* android-chrome-512x512.png
|
||
* apple-touch-icon.png
|
||
* favicon-16x16.png
|
||
* favicon-32x32.png
|
||
* favicon.ico
|
||
* mstile-150x150.png
|
||
* safari-pinned-tab.svg
|
||
* site.webmanifest
|
||
|
||
#### Social icons
|
||
|
||
The following icons are supported, please make sure the `name` filed is exactly one of these:
|
||
|
||
* codepen
|
||
* facebook
|
||
* github
|
||
* gitlab
|
||
* instagram
|
||
* linkedin
|
||
* slack
|
||
* twitter
|
||
* youtube
|
||
* email
|
||
|
||
If that's not enough, you can see [Overriding templates](#overriding-templates) section.
|
||
|
||
### 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 extra header
|
||
If you want to load something(like *custom javascript*, *google fonts* etc.) in every page with header, then you can add them inside site's `layouts/partials/extra-headers.html`.
|
||
|
||
##### Add custom analytics
|
||
If you prefer to use different analytics system other than google analytics, then add them inside `layouts/partials/analytics.html`.
|
||
|
||
#### Add custom css
|
||
|
||
For adding custom css to the theme, you need to assign an array of references in `config.toml` like following:
|
||
```
|
||
[params]
|
||
customCSS = ["css/foo.css", "css/bar.css"]
|
||
```
|
||
You can reference as many stylesheets as you want. Their paths need to be relative to the `static` folder.
