Documentation
Congo has extensive documentation that covers all aspects of the theme. Be sure to read the docs to learn more about how to use the theme and its features.
Installation
Congo supports several installation methods - as a Hugo Module (easiest), a git submodule, or as a completely manual install.
Detailed instructions for each method can be found in the Installation docs. You should consult the documentation for the simplest setup experience. Below is a quick start guide using Hugo modules if you're already confident installing Hugo themes.
Quick start using Hugo
Note: Ensure you have Go and Hugo installed, and that you have created a new Hugo project before proceeding.
-
From your project directory, initialise Hugo Modules:
hugo mod init github.com/<username>/<repo-name>
-
Create
config/_default/module.toml
and add the following:[[imports]] path = "github.com/jpanther/congo/v2"
-
Start your server using
hugo server
and the theme will be downloaded automatically. -
In the root folder of your website, delete the
config.toml
file that was generated by Hugo. Copy the*.toml
config files from the theme into yourconfig/_default/
folder.Note: Do not overwrite the
module.toml
file you created above!You will find these theme config files in the Hugo cache directory, or download a copy from GitHub.
-
Follow the Getting Started instructions to configure your website.
Installing theme updates
As new releases are posted, you can update the theme using Hugo. Simply run hugo mod get -u
from your project directory and the theme will automatically update to the latest release.
Detailed update instructions are available in the docs.
