Installation
Before using the Hugo NexT theme, make sure to have Git and Hugo Extended software installed on your computer.
Using Template:
- If this is your first time building a blog site, it is recommended to use the template on GitHub to create your site code. Visit the repository “hugo-theme-next-starter” and click the “Use this template” button in the upper right corner.
- After clicking the button, select “Create repository from template” to automatically create and clone your site code on your PC.
Direct Reference:
- If you already have a blog site, you can lead the theme into your site as a submodule using the following commands:
git submodule add https://github.com/next-theme/hugo-next themes/hugo-next
Preview on Local:
- After completing the above steps, open your browser and enter the address “http://127.0.0.1:1313/” to preview the effect of the theme on your local environment.
- Note that the “hugo server” command should only be used for local previews. For website deployment and internet access, it is recommended to use the “hugo” command to build static files and deploy them on a web server such as Nginx.
Upgrade Theme:
- If the theme is upgraded, execute the following command in your site directory:
git submodule update --remote --merge
New Post:
- To quickly create a new post, use the following Hugo command:
hugo new posts/my-post.md
- By default, the new post will be created under the content root directory. If you want to create posts in a custom subfolder within the content directory, specify the path accordingly.
