Usage

In order to use this theme, follow the following steps:

Add theme as git submodule

At first, add Toha theme as git submodule to your hugo-site.

$ git submodule add https://github.com/hugo-toha/toha.git themes/toha

Don’t use SSH URL of the theme during adding as git sub-module. Also, don’t clone the theme in your themes directory using git clone. They don’t work well with Github Action or Netlify.

If you don’t already have a hugo site, create one by following the step-by-step guide from here.

Running Locally

When you run your site for first time, it will start with the default parameters. It should look similar to the example site. However, it will not have any sections in the homepage as we haven’t configured them yet. You can configure your site by following the guides from here.

Contributing

You can contribute to this theme in various ways. You can report a bug, file an feature request, send a PR, share your thoughts etc.

Pull requests are most welcome and I will be happy to review. Just follow the following principles:

  • Keep it simple.
  • Keep it consistent with the design.
  • Use as few dependencies as possible.
  • Have patience.

I am not a web developer. I have created this theme for my personal needs. So, it is reasonable to have some flaws in the codes. Feel free to open issues and PRs acknowledging the problems.

Local Development

For local development, you can make changes in the theme submodule and test the changes against your own site or this example site locally.

Fork

At first, fork this repo. Then, follow the following steps to use the forked theme for local developments,

Using the forked theme in your own site:

If you want to run your local development against your own site, follow the following steps:

# add the original theme as a submodule of your site if you haven't done already
$ git submodule add https://github.com/hugo-toha/toha.git themes/toha
# navigate into the toha theme folder
$ cd themes/toha
# add your own fork as a remote
$ git remote add my-fork https://github.com/<your-github-user>/toha
# create a new branch for your changes
$ git checkout -b my-feature-branch

Using the forked theme in the example site:

If your want to run your local development against this example site, follow the following steps:

# clone the example site along with the submodules
$ git clone git@github.com:hugo-toha/hugo-toha.github.io.git --recursive
# navigate into the toha theme folder
$ cd themes/toha
# add your own fork as a remote
$ git remote add my-fork https://github.com/<your-github-user>/toha
# create a new branch for your changes
$ git checkout -b my-feature-branch

From there you can make changes to the source code of the theme while testing with your running Hugo site or the example site.

Open a PR

When the changes look good, commit and push them to your fork.

# stage all the changes
$ git add .
# commit the changes with a meaning full commit message
$ git commit -m "A meaningful commit message"
# push the commit to your fork
$ git push my-fork my-feature-branch

Then, open a PR against main branch of hugo-toha/toha from the my-feature-branch branch of your own fork.
