A work-in-progress, minor (hopefully someday major) edit of the great hugo-book theme.
This fork is originally meant for creating R-based online books for class using blogdown.
For a lightweight blog theme, have a look at hugo-valpro.
Install blogdown, if you don't have it already:
remotes::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')
Create a new blogdown RStudio project and type in "egenn/hugo-valpro" for theme.
Or, within some (new) project:
blogdown::new_site(theme = 'egenn/hugo-booktoo')
For more documentation, take a look at the "themes" section in Yihui's blogdownbook
