1. Generate New Site #

Start by generating a new site using this command: hugo new site <ENTER SITE NAME (Name of Folder)>. cd into the directory after creating the site.

Something I could do in the future, include Vince with one of the hats.

2. Initialize Git Repo #

Initialize Git Repo with git init.

Lets be concious with how we approach our naming scheme, using main/scondary instead of master/slave: git checkout -m main.

Add the remote repoository using git remote add origin <ENTER SITE NAME/GIT REPO>.

3. Add Themes to Git Repo #

Depending on the Theme, you can do one of the following/both:

Add as Submodule #

Adding as a Submodule allows you to not have to download the files but instead track what would be changes based on the hash within Git Repo: git submodule add <REPOSITORY OF THEME> themes/<NAME OF THEME>.

Add as Hugo Module #

Need to learn more about Hugo submodules.

4. Choose theme in Configuration #

Open hugo.toml file & add the following: theme="<THEME NAME>".
