The Bare Min theme is heavily inspired from the better mother-loving website.

Requirements

You need to install the latest version of Go from https://go.dev/doc/install because this theme component requires hugo mod .. commands to work.

This update on switch to using Hugo Modules was last tested with Hugo v0.92.0.

Installing this theme

To use this component,

Add this to your site's TOML config file:

[module]
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "github.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-bare-min-theme"

Run hugo mod tidy in your main site directory.

Theme components

This theme is composed of the base theme "hugo-bare-min-theme", and the "hugo-debugprint" component (which gets auto-fetched using hugo mod).

Theme Concept

It was designed to:

Get rid of all visual clutter (CSS, JS, etc.)
Allow easily seeing debug information (debugprint.html partial) while developing Hugo sites, where focus stays on content development.

Screenshots

Examples
