This is a port of the Tale theme for Jekyll to Hugo. Tale is a minimal Jekyll theme curated for storytellers. Checkout the demo here. I did not design this theme; I only ported it from Jekyll to Hugo.
If your site is also under version control using git, the easiest way to install this theme is to add it as a submodule. If you have not created a git repo for your project yet, you need to run git init beforehand. Inside the folder of your Hugo site, run the following command.
git submodule add https://github.com/EmielH/tale-hugo.git themes/tale
Alternatively, you can clone the theme into your project.
git clone https://github.com/EmielH/tale-hugo.git themes/tale
Add the following line to config.toml to tell Hugo to use the theme.
theme = "tale"
Alternatively, you can tell Hugo to use the theme with the server command.
hugo server -t tale
For more information, read the official setup guide of Hugo.
If you have installed the theme as a git submodule, you can update the theme by issuing the following command inside your project folder.
git submodule update --remote --rebase
If you have cloned the theme, you can run git pull inside the theme folder.
