Usage

Before using Minima, make sure you've got Hugo (extended version) installed on your device.

Installation

Suppose blog is where you place your sources.

cd blog
git init
git submodule add --depth 1 https://github.com/mivinci/hugo-theme-minima.git themes/minima

Or clone directly if you don't wanna use the Git submodule.

git clone https://github.com/mivinci/hugo-theme-minima.git themes/minima

Anyways, you just need to put Minima under the blog/themes directory.

Configuration

Follow exampleSite/config.toml and edit your own blog/config.toml file.
