Creating my own Hugo Simple List theme

Sun, 18 Apr 2021 13:56:33 +0100

I’ve been using the terminal theme, but I wanted to learn more about Hugo and how to create themes. Also I’ve been wanting to change to a more minimal theme.

I came across the hugo-classic theme, and while trying to customize it I decided to give it a go, fork it, and make it my own. I also used the terminal theme as inspiration.

This is my notes on how I did it and how it turned up. You can find my Simple List theme on GitLab.

Moving my dotfiles repository to Gitlab

Sat, 20 Feb 2021 17:19:31 +0000

I’ve been using Keybase to manage my dotfiles with git. Do give it a read to learn how I’m doing it.

This is just how I moved the git server-side from Keybase to Gitlab.

First of all create a new empty repository in Gitlab. I’ve created a ‘dotfiles’ repository.

 1cd ~
 2alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
 3dotfiles fetch origin
 4dotfiles remote add new-origin git@gitlab.com:your_username/dotfiles.git
 5dotfiles push --all new-origin
 6dotfiles remote rm origin
 7dotfiles remote rename new-origin origin
 8dotfiles add your_dotfile
 9dotfiles commit -m "Updated configs"
10dotfiles push --set-upstream origin master

New homepage and blog

In the following future a (manual) migration will slowly be taking place.
