first post again

October 11, 2024

Create a new post for a new Hugo site (again) with minimum customization.

To create a Hugo site and deploy it to GitHub following steps are for Windows 11.

Open File Explorer.
Navigate to a drive or folder.
Right click, Show more options, Open Git Bash here.
Clone new GitHub repository.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/dudung/bug2 bug2
Cloning into 'bug2'...

remote: Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (4/4), done.
```

Create a new Hugo site.

$ hugo new site bug2 --force
Congratulations! Your new Hugo site was created in M:\bug2.

Just a few more steps...

1. Change the current directory to M:\bug2.
2. Create or install a theme:
   - Create a new theme with the command "hugo new theme <THEMENAME>"
   - Install a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/
3. Edit hugo.toml, setting the "theme" property to the theme name.
4. Create new content with the command "hugo new content <SECTIONNAME>\<FILENAME>.<FORMAT>".
5. Start the embedded web server with the command "hugo server --buildDrafts".

See documentation at https://gohugo.io/.

Change active directory to the newly created folder.
```
$ cd bug2
```
Create a new theme
```
$ hugo new theme default
Creating new theme in M:\bug2\themes\default
```
Edit hugo.toml as follow.
```
baseURL = 'https://dudung.github.io/bug2'
languageCode = 'en-us'
title = 'bug 2'
theme = 'default'

enableEmoji = true

ignoreErrors = ['error-missing-instagram-accesstoken']

[taxonomies]
  author = "authors"
  tag = "tags"
  category = "categories"

[[menu.main]]
  name = 'Home'
  weight = 1
  identifier = 'home'
  url = '/'
```
Create a new post.
```
$ hugo new posts/00/first-post-again.md
Content "M:\\bug2\\content\\posts\\00\\first-post-again.md" created
```
Edit the post, which is this one.
Remove sample posts in newly created theme.
```
$ rm themes/default/content -r
```
Create footer.html file.
```
$ mkdir layouts/partials

$ cp themes/default/layouts/partials/footer.html layouts/partials
```
Edit the file.
```
