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

You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng

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. To do so, include it as a git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng

The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy the following config file. To see all possible configurations, check the docs. Note: There are more options to configure. Take a look into the config.toml in exampleSite.

  dateformNumTime = "2006-01-02 15:04 -0700"

  # And you can even create generic menu
  [[menu.main]]
    identifier = "blog"
    name       = "Blog"

Of course you are able to use all default shortcodes from hugo (https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/).

Properties:

• src (required)
• alt (optional)
• position (optional, default: left, options: [left, center, right])
• style

Example:

{{< image src="/img/hello.png" alt="Hello Friend" position="center" style="border-radius: 8px;" >}}

By default the theme is using PrismJS to color your code syntax. All you need to do is to wrap you code like this:

``` html
  // your code here
```

Check the docs.

If you need another one, just open an issue or create a pull request with your wished icon. :)

There is a bug in Hugo that sometimes causes the main page not to render correctly. The reason is an empty taxonomy part. Related issue tickets: !14 !59.

Either you comment it out completely or you write the following in

[taxonomies]
  tag      = "tags"
  category = "categories"

Just edit it. You don't need any node stuff. ;)
