• Install Hugo Note: you need to install the extended version.

• If you need to use tools, or deploy, you also need NodeJS.

Install Theme

git submodule init
git submodule update themes/devfest-theme-hugo

When you have made changes on the theme, you need to add the

git add themes/devfest-theme-hugo

Edit data

You can edit

• general information about the site into the config.toml file.
• some data into data/*.yml files, for header and footer information, team or schedule data.
• some content into content/** files.
• some static assets like images into the static/* folder

Create a new blog entry

You can use hugo new blog/i-create-a-new-entry.md command and then edit it. Or just copy an already existing blog entry, and update the content.

Update the theme

If you need to touch file of the theme (i.e. into ./themes/devfest-theme-hugo/) you to know one more thing:

The theme is in another Git repository https://github.com/GDGToulouse/devfest-theme-hugo, it's using git submodules, so you need to handle this two repository.

So this is an example of workflow:

• install last NodeJS, see here
• go into the theme folder ./themes/devfest-theme-hugo/
• install dependencies with npm install
• run npm start to launch automatically the build when a file change
• (you still need to launch hugo server into the site folder)
• HACK, HACK, HACK
• then build an optimized version with npm run build
• then create the PR (or push)
• into the site folder, git add themes/devfest-theme-hugo
• then create the PR (or push)

Publish

To publish the site on firebase, just run firebase deploy. Note that you need to authenticate once with firebase login YOU DON'T NEED to publish manually the website, it's already done by pushing on develop or master branches.
