Getting started

Installation

Run this command from the root of your Hugo directory (Git needs to be installed):

$ 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. This makes it easier to update this theme. For this you need to run:

$ 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 of Hugo.

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.
