Minimal without dependencies

Personal blog theme powered by Hugo. I only took Calin Tataru theme and stripped out all the links to varios CDNs. I would prefer my website to have as little dependencies outside my control as possible please.

Installation

You can install the theme either as a clone or submodule.

I recommend the latter. From the root of your Hugo site, type the following:

$ git submodule add http://vcs.wacked.codes/wacked/minimal-no-third-party.git themes/minimal-no-third-party
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Now you can get updates to Minimal in the future by updating the submodule:

$ git submodule update --remote themes/minimal-no-third-party

Configuration

After installation, take a look at the exampleSite folder inside themes/minimal.

To get started, copy the config.toml file inside exampleSite to the root of your Hugo site:

$ cp themes/minimal/exampleSite/config.toml .

Now edit this file and add your own information. Note that some fields can be omitted.

I recommend you use the theme’s archetypes so now delete your site’s archetypes/default.md.

Features

You can tweak the look of the theme to suit your needs in a number of ways:

• The accent colour can be changed by using the accent field in config.toml.

• You can also change the background colour by using backgroundColor.

• Add colored 5px borders at the top and bottom of pages by setting showBorder to true.

For best results, I recommend you use a dark accent colour with a light background, for example:

[params]
    accent = "red"
    showBorder = true
    backgroundColor = "white"

Syntax highlighting

The theme does not supportssyntax highlighting.
