Bare Min

The Bare Min theme is heavily inspired from the better mother-loving website.

Theme components

This theme is composed of the base theme “hugo-bare-min-theme”, and the “hugo-debugprint” component.

To use this theme, you need to clone this theme and the component(s) too:

cd HUGO_SITE_DIR/themes
git clone https://github.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-bare-min-theme
git clone https://github.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-search-fuse-js
git clone https://github.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-debugprint

Do not change the cloned repo directory names.

Theme Concept

It was designed to:

  • Get rid of all visual clutter (CSS, JS, etc.)
  • Allow easily seeing debug information (debugprint.html partial) while developing Hugo sites, where focus stays on content development.

  custom_css = ["css/style.css"]  # assuming that you have the "static/css/style.css" file

  [Params.source]
    url = "https://your/site/repo/url"   # Needed if you want to see .GitInfo for a page
    md_dir = "content"                   # Needed if you want to get a link to Markdown source for each page
    org_dir = "content-org"              # Needed if you want to get a link to the Org source (e.g. when using ox-hugo!)

Note: It is mandatory to set .Site.Params.source.url if you set .Site.Params.source.md_dir or .Site.Params.source.org_dir.
