Template Details
holy is a Hugo blog theme developed by serkodev, positioned as a simple, clean blog appearance. The README states that its homepage presents content as an article list and uses responsive design to optimize mobile layouts. Code highlighting supports custom themes, the style layer is implemented with Master Styles, and the repository contains no CSS files. The theme is installed as a git submodule into the themes/holy directory, and local preview is started with hugo server -t holy. The repository provides an online demo site for viewing the actual homepage and inner pages. The project uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification.

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.
