How to use AJonP's Hugo Ionic Template
Just a little donation reminder as Hugo says “Hugo stands on the shoulder of many great open source libraries”, as does many of my tutorials.
Brew
Hugo
Checkout the guide at gohugo.io. My guides will always be on a Mac, but I will always try to provide a link for additional operating systems.
Please chekcout Hugo Ionic-Lesson 2 for the next set of features 1. Victor Hugo 1. Deploy
If you are like me and just bought a new Mac, you probaly are taking brew for granted and think it is just there right 😀! Well first you can head over to brew.sh they will tell you to run
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install hugo
hugo new site 4-hugo-ionic
cd 4-hugo-ionic
At this point you will notice that the project remains pretty empty in a generic skeleton.
It only has two files config.toml and archetypes/default.md
If you run
hugo serve
right now, you will see a blank screen as there is no content to show.
Adding this to the base of our site will be used for setting up the Home Page. This is the only required page you will ever need to build a Hugo based site. Please keep in mind that this is still a
layouts/Index.html
You could make an entire site here if you wanted.
Again if you run
hugo serve
right now, you will see a blank screen as there is no content to show.
content/_index.md
This is markdown for the Homepage
I know this is getting a little frustrating! Again if you run
hugo serve
right now, you will see a blank screen as there is no content to show.
This will be the first page that will show anything in the browser!
layouts/index.html
{{ .Content }}
Now run the command hugo serve
and you will see a page that has
Now I wanted to walk you through all of that to show 1. The steps really necessary to make a Hugo site 1. Prove that laying out a site from scratch is time consuming
You can find the link on Hugo’s Theme site https://themes.gohugo.io/ajonp-hugo-ionic/
Directly from github
git clone https://github.com/AJONPLLC/ajonp-hugo-ionic themes/ajonp-hugo-ionic
git submodule add https://github.com/AJONPLLC/ajonp-hugo-ionic themes/ajonp-hugo-ionic
Adding the submodule will allow you to receive all of the updates that you want, or lock into a specific commit to run your site from. Then later you are able to run
git submodule update --remote --merge
Now you should have a new folder in themes/ajonp-hugo-ionic. This has the full theme including an example site found in themes/ajonp-hugo-ionic/exampleSite
Features - Layouts - Shortcodes - Sitemap - Font Awesome - Ionic - Google Ads - Google Analytics - Disqus - AddThis - OpenGraph - Twitter Cards

Taking things a step further you can change any of the colors on the site by using Ionic’s Color Generator.
Here is a Hugo inspired look.
Just copy the CSS Variables it produces into static/css/custom.css
