# Hugo Whisper Theme
Whisper is a minimal documentation theme for Hugo. The design and functionality is intentionally minimal. Were aiming for a similar feel to a Github readme.

## Theme features
# Installation
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](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/)
### Check Hugo Version
This theme uses [Hugo Pipes](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/scss-sass/) 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
```
### Create a new Hugo site
```
hugo new site mynewsite
```
This will create a fresh Hugo site in the folder `mynewsite`.
### Install theme
Copy or git clone this theme into the sites themes folder `mynewsite/themes`
#### Install with Git
```
cd mynewsite
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jugglerx/hugo-hero-theme.git
```
#### Install from .zip file
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`
### Add example content
The fastest way to get started is to copy the example content. Copy the entire contents of the `exampleSite` folder to the root folder of your Hugo site (the folder with the README.md).
### Update config.toml
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 the `config.toml`
```
baseURL = "/"
themesDir = "themes"
theme = "hugo-hero-theme"
```
### Run Hugo
After installing the theme for the first time, generate the Hugo site.
```
hugo
```
For local development run Hugo's built-in local server.
```
hugo server
```
Now enter [`localhost:1313`](http://localhost:1313) in the address bar of your browser.
# Configuring theme features
### Homepage meta tags
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"
```
### Set meta tags on a per template/page basis
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 }}
...
```
# Deploying to Netlify
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.
