# Hugo Theme Stack Starter Template This is a quick start template for [Hugo theme Stack](https://github.com/CaiJimmy/hugo-theme-stack). It uses [Hugo modules](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/) feature to load the theme. It comes with a basic theme structure and configuration. GitHub action has been set up to deploy the theme to a public GitHub page automatically. Also, there's a cron job to update the theme automatically everyday. ## Get started 1. Click *Use this template*, and create your repository on GitHub.  2. Once the repository is created, create a GitHub codespace associated with it.  3. And voila! You're ready to go. The codespace has been configured with the latest version of Hugo extended, just run `hugo server` in the terminal and see your new site in action. 4. Check `config` folder for the configuration files. You can edit them to suit your needs. Make sure to update the `baseurl` property in `config/_default/config.toml` to your site's URL. 5. Once you're done editing the site, just commit it and push it. GitHub action will deploy the site automatically to GitHub page associated with the repository.  --- In case you don't want to use GitHub codespace, you can also run this template in your local machine. **You need to install Git, Go and Hugo extended locally.** ## Update theme manually Run: ```bash hugo mod get -u github.com/CaiJimmy/hugo-theme-stack/v3 hugo mod tidy ``` > This starter template has been configured with `v3` version of theme. Due to the limitation of Go module, once the `v4` or up version of theme is released, you need to update the theme manually. (Modifying `config/module.toml` file) ## Deploy to another static page hostings If you want to build this site using another static page hosting, you need to make sure they have Go installed in the machine.
