You can [download the theme as .zip archive](https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/archive/main.zip) and extract its content into them `themes/hugo-theme-relearn` directory.
### With Hugo's Module System Afterwards add this at the end of your `hugo.toml`.
Install the Relearn theme by following [this documentation](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/use-modules/#use-a-module-for-a-theme) using Hugo's module system. {{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
theme = "hugo-theme-relearn"
{{< /multiconfig >}}
This theme's repository is: https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git ### Using Hugo's Module System
### Using Git or Git Submodules You can install the Relearn theme by following [the standard documentation](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/use-modules/#use-a-module-for-a-theme) using Hugo's module system:
If you install the theme from your git repository or GitHub, you have several options. ````shell
hugo mod init example.com
````
If you use the `head` of the `main` branch, you are using the development version. Usually it is fully functional but can break from time to time. We try to fix newly introduced bugs in this version as soon as possible. Afterwards add this at the end of your `hugo.toml`.
Additionally you can checkout one of the tagged versions. These tagged versions correspond to an official [releases from the GitHub repository](https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn/releases). {{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[module]
[[module.imports]]
path = 'github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn'
{{< /multiconfig >}}
Besides the usual version tags (eg `1.2.3`) there are also tags for the main version (eg. `1.2.x`), major version (eg. `1.x`) and the latest (just `x`) released version making it easier for you to pin the theme to a certain version. ### Using Git Submodules
## Basic Configuration If you plan to store your project in a git repository you can create one with:
When building the website, you can set a theme by using `--theme` option. However, we suggest you modify the configuration file `hugo.toml` and set the theme as the default. ````shell
git init
````
Now add the theme as a submodule by:
````shell
git submodule add https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git themes/hugo-theme-relearn
````
Afterwards add this at the end of your `hugo.toml`.
