In the root of your Hugo site directory run:
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/tomanistor/osprey.git
Create a submodule linked directly to the theme's GitHub repository in order to receive updates:
$ git submodule add https://github.com/tomanistor/osprey.git themes/osprey
Then run:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
Osprey comes with several configuration options to aid in site customization. This is an example config.toml file:
title = "Osprey Example Site"
baseURL = "https://tomanistor.com"
tags = ["portfolio", "web design", "blog"]
languageCode = "en-US"
config = "config.toml"
theme = "osprey"
canonifyURLS = true
googleAnalytics = ""
disqusShortname = "tomanistor"
disableKinds = ["taxonomy", "taxonomyTerm"] # This theme does not currently use "tag" and "category" taxonomies
[Params]
tagline = "Osprey Example Site"
author = "Toma Nistor"
description = "Full-stack web developer and UI/UX enthusiast based in San Diego, CA."
logoBig = "/images/osprey-logo.png"
logoSmall = "/images/osprey-logo.png"
favicon = "favicon.ico"
opengraphImage = "/images/osprey.png"
twitter = "TomaNistor"
linkedin = "tomanistor"
github = "tomanistor"
facebook = ""
email = ""
googleTagManager = ""
highlightJS = true
copyright = true
credit = true
customCSS = false
cacheBustCSS = false
cacheBustJS = false
# Choose either Formspree contact form or Basin contact form
ajaxFormspree = false
ajaxFormspreeGold = false
ajaxBasin = "https://usebasin.com/f/0eae7044d4c2"
[[menu.main]]
name = "About"
url = "/#about"
weight = 1
[[menu.main]]
name = "Work"
url = "/#work"
weight = 2
[[menu.main]]
name = "Blog"
url = "/#blog"
weight = 3
[[menu.main]]

url = "/#contact"
weight = 4
The two main content types are blog posts and gallery images.
To create an about section that renders on the home page, run:
$ hugo new about.md
To create a new blog post, run:
$ hugo new blog/post-title.md
To add a new image to your portfolio, run:
$ hugo new gallery/image-title.md
The gallery archetype comes with its own configuration. Here is an example:
+++
date = "2017-05-10T21:35:17-07:00"
title = "Image Title"
image = "image-file.png"
alt = "This is a description of the image"
color = "#7ac143"
link1 = "https://tomanistor.com"
link2 = "https://github.com/tomanistor"
+++
Two contact forms services are offered as options: Formspree and Basin.
Update 4/15/18 - Formspree no longer offers newly set up AJAX contact forms for free. This is now a Formspree Gold feature. You can either use the non-AJAX version of Formspree (which redirects to a Captcha page on form submit) by setting the config.toml parameter ajaxFormspreeGold
to false
, sign up for Formspree Gold and set the parameter to true
, or sign up for Basin and use their contact form service for free.
The email address specified in the config.toml file will be the one receiving messages sent through the contact form. The contact form is operated by Formspree and requires that the form must be submitted once initially to confirm the email address being used. See instruction here.
Basin is an alternative, free AJAX contact form service. To use Basin, sign up for a free account and create a form. Copy and paste your form's URL endpoint to the ajaxBasin
config.toml parameter. To use this as an AJAX form, remove the Redirect URL
and select Submit this form via AJAX
on your Basin dashboard.
To implement custom CSS sitewide, change the config.toml parameter customCSS
from false
to true
and then create a css.html
file in your layouts/partials/
folder like the example below:
<style>
<!-- This will remove the shadow on the navbar -->
nav {
box-shadow: none;
}
</style>
This will render inline CSS in the head of your site and without adding an extra HTTP request.
To implement cache busting of CSS and JS static assets with something like Gulp.js and gulp-hash, change the config.toml parameters cacheBustCSS
and cacheBustJS
from false
to true
and follow this setup guide.
