Hi,
Would it be possible to add new commands or update the old commands to work better with themes?
Right now to create a new theme, you first need to create a new site with
hugo new siteand then inside that site, you can create a new theme withhugo new theme. This is fine if you're making a site, but if you're making a standalone theme which you intend to share on https://themes.gohugo.io then you also need anexampleSitedirectory inside your theme directory so it's a bit redundant to have a site inside a theme inside another site so I was thinking why not eliminate the site at the top?This is what I've been doing and to run the theme, I am using the following alias:
It would be really nice if this was built into Hugo (it could be called something like
hugo serve theme) and also if thehugo new themecommand was updated such that if it is called inside a directory that isn't a site then it should create an empty theme with an empty site in theexampleSitefolder.I think this would encourage people to create more standalone themes meant to be used by multiple sites and shared on https://themes.gohugo.io instead of creating local themes used by only one site.
