Installation:

To get started with Just me!, users have two options:

1. Import the theme in Forestry CMS: Simply click the import button in Forestry CMS to add the Just me! theme to your Hugo project. Once imported, you can customize the site by editing the front matter for backgrounds, profiles, and the homepage.

2. Manual installation via command line:

   • In your Hugo project’s root folder, run the following command:

     $ git clone https://github.com/jota-ele-ene/just-me-starter.git themes/just-me
     

   • Open your config.toml file and update the theme variable to just-me. Additionally, add two new variables in the params section to identify yourself and provide a link for more information about you.
   • Add the disableKinds variable to specify which types of pages Hugo should not render. If not extending the theme, keep the default values for disableKinds.
   • Copy the _index.md file and the backgrounds and profiles folders from the theme’s exampleSite folder to your site’s content folder.
   • Remove the first lines in your config.toml file (the themesDir variable is only needed for the example site).
