The config file

You will need to add a handful of configuration items to your config.toml file. You can take a look at the example site to see them in action. They are described below:

• googleAnalytics - the Google Analytics tracking ID. We use the async method. Example: "UA-123-45"

A note about BaseURL

This theme is fairly dependent upon a proper BaseURL being set in the config.toml. This has to do with how the feed is generated as well as some of the social metadata (these things cannot be relative URL’s). I’m fully aware that this can cause issues with some build systems, and I’m trying to work on a good solution for this. This must end in a slash. Example: https://www.arresteddevops.com/

Permalinks

I recommend the following permalink settings, although the theme will work just fine without them:

[permalinks]
	page = "/:filename/"
	about = "/:filename/"
	episode = "/:filename/"

Episodes

Every episode requires a page in the content/episode on your site. The command hugo new episode/myepisod.md should populate it properly.

An episode file takes the following structure:

+++
Description = "Bootstrapping alpha seed money scrum project.

Guests

If you don’t have guests on your episodes, feel free to ignore this section.

Guest Pages

Every guest on your show needs a corresponding page in the content/guest directory of your site. Generally speaking, you should be able to name these however you like, but I have only tested it with the format firstinitiallastname.md, i.e., for “John Doe” the file would be jdoe.md.

A guest file takes the following structure:

+++
Title = "John Doe"
Twitter = "johndoe"
Website = "http://www.google.com"
Type = "guest"
Facebook = "johndoe"
Linkedin = "johndoe"
GitHub = "johndoe"
Thumbnail = "img/guest/jdoe.jpg"
