Template Details
Theminal is a Hugo theme released by korest, positioned as a developer blog with an overall terminal-inspired visual style. The repository README states that this is the first minimal version and notes that features will be added later.
The theme offers dark/light theme switching, triggered by pressing t or a button; there is a mini terminal on the page that supports commands in the form /commands; code blocks have syntax highlighting; it includes a resume page and RSS feed, and is mobile-friendly. Keyboard shortcuts include / to focus the terminal and t to switch themes.
For usage, the README recommends forking the repository directly, modifying the author, role, email, welcome message, and social accounts in hugo.toml, replacing articles under content/articles/, and enabling GitHub Pages in the GitHub repository settings (select GitHub Actions as the source), which automatically deploys after pushing to main. Local development requires Hugo v0.146.0 or higher; run hugo server and visit http://localhost:1313. To create a new article, use hugo new articles/my-post.md.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and full MIT license notice are retained when distributing; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services like domains and hosting may incur additional charges.
