This theme aims to be minimalist, readable, responsive, light and beautiful. Inspired by **Medium** and **The New York Times**, Pico try to provide the best experience for the reader while having an awesome design. It can be configured as a single page, or as a full-featured site with multiple sections. It is multilingual, responsive, and includes a light and *dark theme*.

You can check the [**example site**](https://sponge-bob.netlify.app/).

## Getting started

### Requirements
- Extended version of [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/) (latest version recommended)
Some [NPM](https://npmjs.org) packages :
- [postcss-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-cli)
- [postcss-import](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-import)
- [autoprefixer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/autoprefixer)
- [@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss)
- [tailwindcss](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tailwindcss)

Learn how to install and use npm [here](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm).

### Get the theme

```
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/negrel/hugo-theme-pico.git pico

# Copy the example site
mkdir my_website
cp -r pico/exampleSite/* my_website

# You can delete the cloned repository
rm -rf pico

# Navigate to your website
cd my_website

# Install the node modules and the theme via the script
./setup.sh

# OR manually
# Installing node modules
npm install

# Adding the theme as a submodule (better maintenance than a clone)
# NOTE: my_website/ must be a git repository
git submodule add -f https://github.com/negrel/hugo-theme-pico.git ./themes/pico

# Start the dev server
hugo server
```

Your website is running :smile:, you can start editing content files.

### Multilingual
Pico currently ships with support for 5 languages (fr, en, it, es, de). Contributions for other language translations are welcome.
To create a new language translation, add the .toml file to the i18n/ folder. See the existing files for the necessary fields.
See the [hugo documentation](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/) for more details.

### Menu
Pico contains a default menu. If you want to override this, you can do so by editing the menu.main in config.toml.

### Google Analytics
Set googleAnalytics in config.toml to activate Hugo's internal [Google Analytics template](https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/#google-analytics).
