Template Details

texugo-theme is a minimalist website theme for Hugo, with visual and typographic styling inspired by TeX's fonts and layout, suited to text-focused personal sites. The theme uses a sidebar structure: the main heading displays name, below which the bio array is rendered line by line, and multiple social link entries can be configured via params.social.

To use it, clone the repository into your Hugo project's themes directory, then copy config.toml from exampleSite to your site root and modify as needed, including baseurl, title, copyright, nickname, name, bio and the social list, as well as markup.highlight code highlighting settings. For development, preview locally with hugo server and generate a production build with hugo --minified; the repository also links to an example workflow for deploying to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

The theme's styles are compiled from style.scss, and the repository instructions provide a workflow for running npm install, npm run css-build and npm run css-watch inside the theme directory. The README does not list a required Hugo version, nor does it describe any functionality beyond the example configuration.
