CodeIT Theme | Hugo

CodeIT is a clean, elegant but advanced blog theme for Hugo.

It is based on the original LoveIt Theme, LeaveIt Theme, and KeepIt Theme.

Since the three themes have a similar look, if you have questions about their differences, read Why to choose CodeIT so that you can choose the one that works best for you.

:warning: Theme Deprecated :warning:

This theme was deprecated. Please do a fork from this repository or from the original LoveIt theme to maintain it further.

:hourglass_flowing_sand: Brief history

This theme is based on the original LoveIt theme. The original theme was loved by many users, but since May 2020 it has not been maintained.

We tried to contact the theme owner, but without success. The contributors have opened an issue and asked if the theme is still supported, but we also did not receive any response.

So we decided to create and maintain the theme with a new name, keeping the original style, but continuously improving it. Feel free to contribute to this theme 😊.

:computer: Demo Site

To see this theme in action, here is a live demo site that is rendered with the CodeIT theme.

:question: Why choose CodeIT

Compared to the original LeaveIt theme and the KeepIt theme, the CodeIT theme has the following modifications.

• Custom Header
• Custom CSS Style
• A new home page, compatible with the latest version of Hugo
• A lot of style detail adjustments, including color, font size, margins, code preview style
• More readable dark mode
• Some beautiful CSS animations
• Easy-to-use and self-expanding table of contents
• More social links, share sites, and comment system
• Search supported by Lunr.js or Algolia
• Copy code to the clipboard with one click
• Extended Markdown syntax for Font Awesome icons
• Extended Markdown syntax for ruby annotation
• Extended Markdown syntax for fractions
• Mathematical formula supported by KaTeX
• Diagram syntax shortcode supported by mermaids
• Interactive data visualization shortcode supported by ECharts

• Embedded music player supported by APlayer and MetingJS
• Bilibili player supported
• Kinds of admonitions shortcode supported
• Custom style shortcodes supported

In short, if you prefer the design language and freedom of the CodeIT theme, if you want to use the extended Font Awesome icons conveniently, if you want to embed mathematical formulas, flowcharts, music, or Bilibili videos in your posts, the CodeIT theme may be more suitable for you.

I hope you will CodeIT 👩‍💻!

:dart: Add the theme to your blog

First, download the theme from GitHub and add it to your site’s themes directory:

cd your-hugo-blog-directory
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/sunt-programator/CodeIT.git themes/CodeIT

Note for non-git users:

If you do not have git installed, you can download the archive of the latest version of this theme from the release page of this repository.

Extract the .zip file to get a CodeIT-latest directory. Rename that directory to CodeIT, and move it into the themes/ directory. Then, add the theme to the site configuration:

echo 'theme = "CodeIT"' >> config.toml

:page_facing_up: Build documentation instructions

You can build the theme documentation locally by using a devcontainer or by manually install the Hugo. The main advantage of the devcontainer is that you will have a preconfigured container with all tools required for developing and building the theme documentation.
