Harvey is a minimal blogging Hugo theme for developers that is hugely influenced by the minimalist design of default theme of Cactus static site generator. This theme is designed to be light and fast, without sacrificing much of core blogging features such as dedicated about page, RSS feed support, syntax highlighting for source code and Disqus-powered comment system.

Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/fsylum/harvey.git

In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server.
