Template Details
hugo-theme-constant is a minimal blog theme for Hugo by ziruifan. The README states that it is adapted from Marcin Mierzejewski's Console theme (hugo-theme-console) and is positioned as "A minimal theme for Hugo".
The theme is installed as a Git submodule into the Hugo site's themes directory, and the site configuration file sets the theme parameter to hugo-theme-constant. The repository provides an online demo site hosted on GitHub Pages, where you can view actual screenshots of the desktop homepage, mobile homepage, and the about page.
The materials do not list the specific page types, menu structure, shortcodes, or configurable parameters included in the theme, so aside from installation and theme parameter setup, other features should be based on the actual repository contents.
