Changing the favicon

[aaronkjones]

There are previous discussions talking about doing this, #57 and #16 but they are above my understanding. I am very new to using Hugo. Can someone provide a step by step on how to do it?

Such as...

cd themes
git clone https://github.com/laozhu/hugo-nuo
...

Hi @aaronkjones, you can reset the avatar link in your config.toml, but I think the simplest method is replacing the avatar and icons in the theme with your own images and keep the name the same.

• avatar and background folder
• favicon and icons folder

If you want to develop the theme to your own theme, just start from head.html.

Can this be done without modifying the theme? The theme is added as a submodule so that I can keep it updated. If I make changes, they will be overridden when I do.

Hi, @aaronkjones

Copy themes/hugo-nuo/assets and themes/hugo-nuo/static to your blog root dir and keep the filename the same with theme.

~/D/@/my-blog ❯❯❯ tree -L 2
.
├── config.toml
├── assets
│   └── images          <-- replace images
├── static
│   ├── favicon.ico     <-- replace favicon.ico
│   ├── icons           <-- replace icons
│   └── manifest.json
└── themes
    └── hugo-nuo

Above is your blog repo structure, now you can replace images with your own, and don't need to modify theme anymore.
