To use this theme you will need to have Hugo installed. If you don't already have Hugo installed please follow the official installation guide

This theme uses Hugo Pipes to compile SCSS and minify assets. Please make sure you have the Hugo Extended version installed. If you are not using the extended version this theme will not not compile.

hugo version

hugo new site mynewsite

This will create a fresh Hugo site in the folder mynewsite.

Copy or git clone this theme into the sites themes folder mynewsite/themes

cd mynewsite
git clone https://github.com/jugglerx/hugo-hero-theme.git themes/hugo-hero-theme

You can download the .zip file located here https://github.com/JugglerX/hugo-hero-theme/archive/master.zip.

Extract the downloaded .zip inside the themes folder. Rename the extracted folder from hugo-hero-theme-master -> hugo-hero-theme. You should end up with the following folder structure mynewsite/themes/hugo-hero-theme

Copy the entire contents of the mynewsite/themes/hugo-hero-theme/exampleSite/ folder to root folder of your Hugo site, ie mynewsite/

To copy the files using terminal, make sure you are still in the projects root, ie the mynewsite folder.

cp -a themes/hugo-hero-theme/exampleSite/. .

After you copy the config.toml into the root folder of your Hugo site you will need to update the baseURL, themesDir and theme values in mynewsite/config.toml

baseURL = "/"
themesDir = "themes"
theme = "hugo-hero-theme"

After installing the theme for the first time, generate the Hugo site.

You run this command from the root folder of your Hugo site ie mynewsite/

hugo

For local development run Hugo's built-in local server.

hugo server

Now enter localhost:1313 in the address bar of your browser.

Often a homepage requires special meta tags such as a meta description or og meta data for twitter, facebook etc. You can configure these values in the config.toml

// config.toml
[params]
  google_analytics_id=""

  [params.homepage_meta_tags]
    meta_description = "a description of your website."
    meta_og_title = "My Theme"
    meta_og_type = "website"
    meta_og_url = "https://www.mywebsite.com"
    meta_og_image = "https://www.mywebsite.com/images/tn.png"
    meta_og_description = "a description of your website."
    meta_twitter_card = "summary"
    meta_twitter_site = "@mytwitterhandle"
    meta_twitter_creator = "@mytwitterhandle"

You can set meta tags on a per template basis using a block. For example, you might want to write a custom meta description for the /services page. You can insert any valid HTML meta data inside the {{ define "meta_tags }} block at the top of a template.

// layouts/services/list.html
...

{{ define "meta_tags" }}
    <meta name="description" content="We offer a variety of services in the finance industry" />
{{ end }}

{{ define main }}
...

This theme includes a netlify.toml which is configured to deploy to Netlify from the exampleSite folder. See this discussion on how to deploy your site on Netlify from the exampleSite folder - https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/deploy-your-theme-to-netlify/15508

Most likely if you are deploying to Netlify, you are including the entire Hugo site, so you can delete the netlify.toml file.
