~CNCF Hugo Starter~

~This repository contains a boilerplate static site generator setup for creating~ ~CNCF documentation projects. We strongly recommend using this setup (it helps us~ ~help you and your project!), but none of the technologies in the stack are~ ~strictly required.~

The starter uses the following:

• Hugo as a static site generator
• Bootstrap 4.5.x as a CSS framework
• Netlify for building, hosting, and DNS management

Running locally

Make sure you have npm installed. Clone this repository and run the following two commands in its directory:

# Install npm assets
npm install

# Run the server locally
npm run serve

Running on Netlify

Netlify is a CI/CD build tool and hosting solution for (among other things) static sites. We strongly recommend using Netlify unless you have a good reason not to.

This repository comes with a pre-configured netlify.toml file. To build to Netlify:

1. Go to netlify.com and sign up. We recommend signing up using a GitHub account.
2. Click New Site from Git, and give Netlify access to your GitHub account.

   Note: For projects with lots of contributors, it can be handy to create a general/bot account instead of granting access with a personal account.

3. Install Netlify with access to your documentation site repository.
4. Leave all other settings as default and click Deploy Site.

What's included

This repository has two layouts with minimal styling, all stored under /layouts/_default:

• A homepage template, a basic homepage which uses the following:
  • The index.html file and partials in the /partials/home directory
  • Some helpers in the /assets/sass/helpers.sass file
• A docs template, a basic content page with submenu which uses the following:
  • The single.html file and partials in the /partials/docs directory
  • Classes in the /assets/sass/helpers.sass and /assets/sass/_docs.sass files

Both use default components and styling from the Bootstrap CSS framework. No menus are structured, because menu structure is highly dependent on the nature of the project.
