This theme is far more simplistic than most themes therefore running hugo new site creates a lot of things that are not necessary.
mkdir -p myterminalcv/themes
cd myterminalcv
git clone https://github.com/coolapso/hugo-theme-terminalcv themes/terminalcv
cp themes/terminalcv/exampleSite/config.yml .
hugo server
Now you can start personalizing it by changing the config.yml and when you are happy just build the site with hugo
If you are using git (which you should be!) for your website and don't want to make any radical changes to the theme itself, it's recommended that you add the theme as a submodule. This way, you can easily get new updates when they are available.
git submodule add https://github.com/coolapso/hugo-theme-terminalcv.git themes/terminalcvAll the content and configuration is done through the config.yml.
you can just copy the existing example file and change it to your liking.
RealFaviconGenerator and put the generated files into the static your folder
blog post functionalities are enabled/disabled with the blog key in the params section
params:
blog: trueThe theme supports blog posts, site visitors can find the posts with the posts or ls commands, and can view posts with cat <filename> to see how it works you can read the example post.
The live demo may not be making use of the blogging capabilities, but you can always see it in action like this:
Important
Be sure to have hugo installed before proceeding
git clone https://github.com/coolapso/hugo-theme-terminalcv
cd hugo-theme-terminalcv
make server
Now a demo will be available at http://localhost:1313
Improvements and suggestions are always welcome, feel free to open an Issue or Pull Request
If you like this theme and want to support / contribute in a different way you can always:
If you just want to make any changes and be able to test them as you progress, or if you simply just want to test the module wihtou having to create a new hugo website you can just run
git clone https://github.com/coolapso/hugo-theme-terminalcv
cd hugo-theme-terminalcv
make server
if you don't have make, then you can just run:
hugo server --config exampleSite/config.yml --theme ""
terminalCV makes use jcubic/jquery.terminal
