Template Details
This is a Hugo blog theme template. The repository description states that it is heavily customized based on the Hugo theme Blowfish and integrates the Gallery element from Track3's personal blog Zakee's Planet. As a result, it combines Blowfish's blog page structure with a gallery homepage centered on image thumbnails.
The template includes sample gallery content sourced from Track3's personal blog under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license; the repository code itself is under the MIT license. The README specifically notes a deployment limitation: when the Hugo blog's baseURL uses the GitHub Pages project site form (https://<username>.github.io/<repository>), the gallery homepage thumbnails will not display correctly due to incorrect paths. The repository's temporary workaround is to prepend the repository name to each preview image's file link in Gallery/photo folder/index.md, for example changing /gallery/2020-06-20/DSCF2839_t.webp to /blowfish-with-gallery/gallery/2020-06-20/DSCF2839_t.webp; if switching to the user site form (https://<username>.github.io) or a custom domain as the baseURL, the above change must be reverted.
The README's acknowledgments section lists three sources: nunocoracao/blowfish, Track3/blog, and lxgw/LxgwWenKai. The repository does not provide further information about configuration options, feature scope, or maintenance status.

Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in a public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version's code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and liability limitations are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the code's MIT license alone is not sufficient to determine this.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional fees.
- The Gallery sample album content included in the repository comes from Track3's personal blog under CC BY-NC 4.0, which is limited to non-commercial use; for commercial use, you must replace it or obtain separate authorization. This license differs from the repository code's MIT license.
- When the Hugo blog's baseURL uses the GitHub Pages project site form (https://<username>.github.io/<repository>), the gallery homepage thumbnails will not display correctly due to incorrect paths; manually adjust the image links as instructed in the README.
- If switching to the GitHub Pages user site form (https://<username>.github.io) or a custom domain as the baseURL, you must revert the aforementioned change of prepending the repository name to preview image links; otherwise, the paths will also be incorrect.

Source file / repository# blowfish-with-gallery  [](https://gohugo.io) A radically customized version of Hugo theme [blowfish](https://github.com/nunocoracao/blowfish), incorporating the Gallery element from [Track3](https://github.com/Track3)’s personal blog [Zakee's Planet](https://github.com/Track3/blog). ## Notice When using the GitHub Pages link `https://<username>.github.io/<repository>` in the form of a project site as the baseURL for a Hugo blog, the thumbnail images on the Gallery homepage cannot be displayed properly due to incorrect paths. The temporary solution adopted by this repository is to add the repository name before the file link of each preview image in `Gallery/photo folder/index.md`, such as changing `/gallery/2020-06-20/DSCF2839_t.webp` to `/blowfish-with-gallery/gallery/2020-06-20/DSCF2839_t.webp`. If you use user site format of GitHub Pages link `https://<username>.github.io`, or custom domain as baseURL for your Hugo blog, you need to reverse the aforementioned changes. The sample content in the Gallery comes from Track3's personal blog [Zakee's Planet](https://github.com/Track3/blog), which is licensed under the Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 license. ## Thanks - [nunocoracao/blowfish](https://github.com/nunocoracao/blowfish) - [Track3/blog](https://github.com/Track3/blog) - [lxgw/LxgwWenKai](https://github.com/lxgw/LxgwWenKai)
