contrast-hugo — Hugo Starter Template

contrast-hugo is niklasbuschmann's adaptation of the Jekyll theme contrast to Hugo, described in the repository as a "Minimalistic Hugo theme." It does not provide a page builder or component library; instead, it works through Hugo's theme mechanism: clone the repository into the project's themes/ directory, then declare theme: "contrast-hugo" in hugo.yaml to enable it.

At the configuration level, the examples in the README focus on two parts: params.excerpts and menu. excerpts controls whether summaries are displayed. The menu is divided into main and social groups, each item containing name, url, and weight. Social items can also include an identifier to correspond to an icon (the examples use envelope, github, and rss). The theme's demo site and screenshots cover the homepage, inner pages, and mobile views, which can be used to understand the actual typography.

The materials do not specify which content types, shortcodes, or build processes the theme includes, nor do they give a Hugo version requirement; before use, you need to confirm compatibility with your current Hugo version. The repository uses the Unlicense, so the code may be freely copied, modified, and distributed, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification.
