Template Details
Morandyt is a Hugo blog theme by penyt, released under the MIT license. Its core characteristic is the use of the Morandi color tone, with an overall soft, low-saturation visual style that the README describes as minimalist. The theme has its own page on the official Hugo Themes site and provides an online demo site and an example site configuration.
Installation is done by adding the repository to the site's themes directory as a Git submodule, then setting theme to morandyt in hugo.toml. The repository provides an exampleSite, which can be previewed locally by running hugo server with that example directory specified, and the theme can be updated with git submodule update.
Note that the README explicitly states that more complete documentation is not yet available ("More documentation will be available soon"), so the theme's configuration options, available parameters, and page types should be based on the example site and template files in the repository; this article does not make additional inferences about them. The theme code is under the MIT license, but the licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately.
