How to start

You can download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal.git and pasting it to themes/terminal in your root directory.

You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal.git themes/terminal

If you don't want to make any radical changes, it's the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. You can also include it as a git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal.git themes/terminal

How to configure

The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy:

baseurl = "/"
languageCode = "en-us"
theme = "terminal"
paginate = 5

[params]
  # dir name of your blog content (default is `content/posts`)
  contentTypeName = "posts"
  # ["orange", "blue", "red", "green", "pink"]
  themeColor = "orange"
  # if you set this to 0, only submenu trigger will be visible
  showMenuItems = 2
  # set theme to full screen width
  fullWidthTheme = false
  # center theme with default width
  centerTheme = false
  # set a custom favicon (default is a `themeColor` square)
  # favicon = "favicon.ico"

[languages]
  [languages.en]
    title = "Terminal"
    subtitle = "A simple, retro theme for Hugo"
    keywords = ""
    copyright = ""
    menuMore = "Show more"
    readMore = "Read more"
    readOtherPosts = "Read other posts"

    [languages.en.params.logo]
      logoText = "Terminal"
      logoHomeLink = "/"

    [languages.en.menu]
      [[languages.en.menu.main]]
        identifier = "about"
        name = "About"
        url = "/about"
      [[languages.en.menu.main]]
        identifier = "showcase"
        name = "Showcase"
        url = "/showcase"

to config.toml file in your Hugo root directory and change params fields. In case you need, here's a YAML version.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that currently main menu doesn't support nesting.

Post archetype

See the basic post file params supported by the theme — https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal/blob/master/archetypes/post.md

Add-ons

How to run your site

From your Hugo root directory run:

$ hugo server -t terminal

and go to localhost:1313 in your browser. From now on all the changes you make will go live, so you don't need to refresh your browser every single time.

How to edit the theme

If you have to override some of the styles, you can do this easily by adding static/style.css in your root directory and point things you want to change.

Otherwise, if you really want to edit the theme, you need to install Node dependencies. To do so, go to the theme directory (from your Hugo root directory):

$ cd themes/terminal

and then run:

$ npm install
$ npm i yarn
$ yarn
