Template Details
This template is a Hugo theme published by sivaprasadreddy under the repository name hugo-tech-blog-modern-theme, licensed under MIT. The README positions it as a tech blog theme, emphasizing a clean design, a light color scheme, mobile friendliness, and simple blog and taxonomy support.
For usage, the README requires the Hugo extended edition and provides quick-start steps: add the theme to the themes directory via git submodule, declare the theme in hugo.toml, then run hugo server.
The available information does not specify the concrete page types, components, configuration options, or third-party dependencies included in the theme, so the feature scope beyond blog and taxonomy pages cannot be confirmed. The repository has a low star count, and the demo site is hosted on GitHub Pages.
