Template Details
Sangai is a Hugo theme for blogs, portfolios, and note-style content, positioned around clear, easy-to-read body text presentation. The repository README states that it provides blog-, portfolio-, and documentation-friendly layouts, and includes a built-in left-side navigation menu, featured content slider, light/dark mode toggle, and image lightbox. Styles are organized through SCSS and Hugo Pipes, and images in Markdown have lazy loading and asynchronous decoding by default without additional configuration. The theme uses standard Hugo configuration, and the repository's exampleSite/hugo.toml provides a complete, usable configuration example. Installation is via Git submodule or by cloning directly into themes/sangai, then setting theme = "sangai" in the Hugo configuration. The usage requirement is Hugo extended v0.120.0 or higher, indicating that the theme relies on the extended version of Hugo for SCSS processing. The code is released under the MIT license and may be used, modified, commercially used, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately for licensing.
