Template Details

Cutie is a Hexo blog theme published on GitHub, with the repository maintained by pmlrin. In the README, the author states that the motivation for creating the theme was to learn relevant knowledge and produce an attractive interface. The theme layout references the Typecho theme handsome. Most of the code was written by the author, with the remainder taken from the internet (for example, mkBlog).

To use it, first obtain the theme files, then set theme to cutie in the blog configuration file _config.yml to enable the theme, and configure further according to the documentation. The README notes that most of the related documentation is in Chinese.

Note that the installation command given in the README points to the Yurchiu/cutie repository, which differs from the currently listed pmlrin/Cutie repository address; confirm the actual repository source before installing. The repository materials do not provide a theme feature list, detailed configuration options, or the range of compatible Hexo versions, so specific capabilities should be based on the documentation and source code in the repository.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

# Theme Cutie

![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/yz-hs/PicGo/intro4.png)

## Background

In order to learn relevant knowledge and make a good-looking theme, I made this. The layout of the theme is like [handsome](https://www.ihewro.com/archives/489/), a typecho theme. Most of the codes were originally programmed by me, while the rest were from the Internet, for instance, [mkBlog](https://mkblog.cn/).

## Install

You can install it by running this command:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Yurchiu/cutie.git
```

## Usage

Firstly, you need to set the value of `theme` in the blog configuration file (`/path-to-your-blog/_config.yml`) to `cutie` to enable this theme.

Then, you need to read documents to further configure the theme and learn more about this theme. Most of them are in Chinese.
