## How to start
You can download the theme manually by going to [https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git](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:
``` bash
$ 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:
``` bash
$ git submodule add https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng
```
## How to configure
The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy the following config file.
To see all possible configurations, [check the docs](docs/config.md).
Note: There are more options to configure. Take a look into the `config.toml` in `exampleSite`.
``` toml
baseurl = "localhost"
title = "My Blog"
languageCode = "en-us"
theme = "hello-friend-ng"
paginate = 10
[params]
dateform = "Jan 2, 2006"
dateformShort = "Jan 2"
dateformNum = "2006-01-02"
dateformNumTime = "2006-01-02 15:04"
# Subtitle for home
homeSubtitle = "A simple and beautiful blog"
# Set disableReadOtherPosts to true in order to hide the links to other posts.
disableReadOtherPosts = false
# Enable sharing buttons, if you linke
enableSharingButtons = true
# Metadata mostly used in document's head
description = "My new homepage or blog"

#### image
Properties:
- `src` (required)
- `alt` (optional)
- `position` (optional, default: `left`, options: [`left`, `center`, `right`])
- `style`
Example:
``` golang
{{< 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
```
### Favicon
Check the [docs](docs/favicons.md).
## Social Icons:
Take a look into this [list](docs/svgs.md)
If you need another one, just open an issue or create a pull request with your wished icon. :)
## Known issues
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](https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng/issues/14) [!59](https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng/issues/59).
Either you comment it out completely or you write the following in
``` toml
[taxonomies]
tag = "tags"
category = "categories"
```
## How to edit the theme
Just edit it. You don't need any node stuff. ;)
