## Feature Highlights

- **Reader-first**: Prioritizes speed[^1], privacy[^2], readability and accessibility with personalized settings for colors, fonts, BionRead and focus mode (It's Tracker Free!).
- **Inclusive**: Graceful degradation design[^3] oriented with improved semantic HTML structure & WAI-ARIA attribute, RSS/reader-mode optimized, printer-friendly full static website that remains fully functional even when JavaScript is disabled! The theme is even compatible with terminal browsers such as Lynx or W3M.
- **Scalable**: Start small and grow into a thriving digital garden; with multi-author support, multilingual capabilities and content organization through taxonomy, optional Pagefind search integration, subscribable section and terms-specific or site-wide over RSS, external feed embed over RSS, and comments via Giscus or Fediverse (Mastodon & Bluesky).
- **Frameworkless**: Lower maintenance & carbon footprint by lesser resource usage. Hugo-brewm's combined JavaScript and stylesheet assets (excluding optional external libraries like MathJax, Katex or PageFind) totaling under 140KB and compressed to less than 55KB when Gzipped!

## Getting Started: Blog with Hugo and hugo-brewm

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Do not fork this repo if you want to use this theme to build your site!

### Prerequisite

If you want a live preview on your local PC, download [Hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases).  
It's recommended to use a hosting provider that supports hugo deployment for minimal clutter.

### Installation

1. Create a new Hugo site (for an existing hugo site, skip to step 2) :

```sh
hugo new site mysite
cd mysite
git init
```

2. Add this theme as a Git submodule:

```sh
git submodule add https://github.com/foxihd/hugo-brewm themes/hugo-brewm
```

3. Add `theme = "hugo-brewm"` to site's configuration in `config.toml`.

```sh
echo 'theme = "hugo-brewm"' >> config.toml
```

### Preview Builds and Serves the Site

1. Change to your site directory.

```sh
cd mysite
```

2. Make sure the theme is initialized on new clone:

```sh
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

3. To preview your changes locally before pushing to the repository, run Hugo's development server with the following command, make sure to update the baseURL to match your local IP address - this will make your site accessible across your local network:

```sh
hugo serve --minify --gc --port=8080 --bind=0.0.0.0 --baseURL=http://192.168.0.1
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Please use the `--minify` options to strip white spaces; otherwise, some elements will have additional spaces.

> [!NOTE]
> You can also explore on how Hugo works with exampleSite on this theme with following command:  
> `hugo serve --minify --gc --source exampleSite --themesDir ../.. `

4. With Hugo running, you can now live configure your site and begin writing articles. Some templates might persist until you clear the build cache, please stop the running hugo server (`ctrl + c`) and before you rebuild, run:

```sh
hugo mod clean
```

5. If you have PageFind enable on configuration, please index your site with Node:

```sh
npx pagefind --site "public"
```

### Updating Theme

To update the theme to the latest changes, run the following commands:

1. Change to your site directory.

```sh
cd mysite
```

2. Update the theme submodule:

```sh
git submodule update --remote --merge themes/hugo-brewm
```

3. Commit the changes.

```sh
git add themes/hugo-brewm
git commit -m "Update hugo-brewm theme"
```

### Resolving Submodule Conflicts

My apologies for my bad practice on force updating,
If you encounter conflicts when updating the submodule, here's an alternative approach:

1. Change to your site directory

```sh
cd mysite
```

2. Force remove the existing submodule

```sh
git submodule deinit -f themes/hugo-brewm
git rm -r --cached themes/hugo-brewm
rm -R themes/hugo-brewm
```

3. Re-add the submodule with force flag

```sh
git submodule add -f https://github.com/foxihd/hugo-brewm themes/hugo-brewm
```

### Overriding Templates

To customize the theme's templates, create files with matching names in your site's root directory. These will override the default theme templates.

```
 mysite/
    ├── ...
    ├── assets/
    │   └── css/
    │       └── custom.css # This will replace theme's custom.css template
    ├── content/
    ├── layouts/
    │   ├── shortcodes/
    │   │   └── myshortcode.html # This will add {{< myshortcode >}} shortcodes
    │   ├── partials/
    │   │   └── header.html # This will replace theme's header.html template
    │   └── 404.html # This will replace theme's 404.html template
    ├── ...
    ├── static/
    └── themes/
        └── hugo-brewm/ # The remote theme
            ├── ...
            ├── assets/
            │   └── css/
            │       └── custom.css
            ├── layouts/
            │   ├── partials/
            │   │   └── header.html
            │   └── 404.html
            ├── static/
            └── ...
```

### Override Flowlines Directory

When `site.Params.Feed.Flowlines` is set, flowlines will fill the missing articles cover on the feed view.
You can override this random flowlines to picture of abstract, mesh or anything you like with:

```toml
[params]
    [params.feed]
        OverrideFlowlinesDir = 'https://example.com/i-prefer/random-cat-directory/'
        FlowlinesLimit = 50
        flowlinesExt = 'jpg'
```

You need to name the illustration numerically starting from the number 1 to the value of `site.Params.Feed.FlowlinesLimit`.

```
random-cat-directory/
    ├── 1.jpg
    ├── 2.jpg
    ├── 3.jpg
    └── ...
```

### Deploy on GitHub Pages

To deploy your Hugo site with PageFind on GitHub Pages, copy the workflow file from [./themes/hugo-brewm/github/workflows/hugo.yml](https://github.com/foxihd/hugo-brewm/blob/main/.github/workflows/hugo.yml) to your repository's workflow directory and start the GitHub Action.

### Deploy on Gitlab Pages

To deploy your Hugo site with PageFind on Gitlab Pages, copy the workflow file from [./themes/hugo-brewm/.gitlab-ci.yml](https://github.com/foxihd/hugo-brewm/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml) to your repository's workflow directory and start the Gitlab CI/CD pipeline.

## Support

> Most of us love coffee, aren't we?

For what it's worth.
This theme was originally made for my tiny coffee business that I work on myself.
But things have to shifted in last two years, as coffee prices hikes due to shortages induced by climate change.
I open my github sponsor if you'd love to help me.
I would appreciate it too if you saved your morning brew by supporting your local coffee shop.
That's maybe one of the small ethical revolutions we can do everyday if addressing our planet's issues can't be done in couple of earth's revolutions.
I hope this will help you recognise.

Keep brewing! :)
