FreeBee is a fork of xioyito's NewBee theme for Hugo. NewBee is a very nice looking theme, but includes analytics that I don't care for.

Quick Start

For more information, please go to: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/

Install Hugo(extended version)

The following is For macOS system, other systems see: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/

Homebrew

~ % brew install hugo

MacPorts

~ % port install hugo

install FreeBee

First, you need to create a new site(e.g. my-blog) by Hugo:

~ % hugo new site my-blog

You have 2 methods to install FreeBee after creating a new site:

Method 1

download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/marorsecurity/FreeBee and pasting it to themes in your root directory.

Method 2

clone it directly to themes:

~ % cd my-blog
my-blog % git clone https://github.com/marorsecurity/FreeBee.git themes/FreeBee

Configuration

That's simple, just copy the file FreeBee/config-example/hugo.toml to your Hugo root directory.

First post

create a new post:

my-blog % hugo new "posts/first-post.md"

create about page:

my-blog % hugo new "about/_index.md"

Now:

my-blog % hugo server -D

go to http://localhost:1313/ in your browser. From now your browser will refresh automatically when the files in your site changes , so you don’t need to refresh your browser every time.

Customize FreeBee

if you want to override some of the styles, just create a file my-blog/static/css/custom.css and add your own styles into this file.
