Please let me know if there's any problem. Thanks in advance!

Hello @ghoostqq

thank you for sharing this theme with the Hugo community. I've checked your theme using the build script for the Hugo theme site and everything build fine.

However, is it intended that the homepage of your theme, i.e. the page rendered by layouts/index.html shall not list content files like blog posts? The metadata in theme.toml indicate that this theme is designed for blog-like websites who usually highlight their newest content on the homepage.

And please make sure that an existing (minimal) version number for Hugo is set.

Hello @digitalcraftsman

Thank you for your comment.
I've fixed the homepage to show posts by default. It should look well with the HugoBasicExample now.

Also I've fixed theme.toml min_version to indicate Hugo version.

Could you take a look if it is fine now? Thanks.

[digitalcraftsman]

Your theme should appear soon on Hugo's theme site. Next, I'll promote your theme on Hugo's official Twitter account.

Is it possible that theer is inspired by GitHub's design?

[qqhann]

Great! Thanks!

Yes, it is definitely inspired by GitHub's design.
I built Theer because I love GitHub's simple and beautiful design for markdown pages, and wanted to use them even in a blog.

Hello @digitalcraftsman ,

Pardon me for bothering. I have changed my GitHub username, so it would be great if you could update .gitmodules for me in future updates.

Diff:

[submodule "theer"]
    path = theer
-   url = https://github.com/ghoostqq/theer.git
+   url = https://github.com/hanpannet/theer.git

Hey @hanpannet,

thank your for contacting us. I've updated the remote url in https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes/commit/911f6cc3f2afe91889b48a21ddd3cb8d04da5f35.

Hello @digitalcraftsman ,

I've made a major update to Theer recently. And I am considering about changing the name to "Hugo-Primer", since my theme is based on Primer CSS.
Would this be okay in terms of Hugo's naming policy? And will such name change break anything?

[digitalcraftsman]

Hey Quishi,

Would this be okay in terms of Hugo's naming policy?

I don't see any problems with the new name of your theme

And will such name change break anything?

Not in our side. And AFAIK does Github redirect users automatically to the new repo url if it's accessed via the old one.

Let us know when you're done with the renaming and we'll update everything accordingly.

Hello @digitalcraftsman ,

Thanks for your reply. I've updated it: https://github.com/qqhann/hugo-primer

[digitalcraftsman]

I've updated the relevant information in https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes/commit/84073b0e57f9cf109497ab39ead676fbb2b5243c. The theme site should reflect this changes soon (but want look much different anyway).

Hello @digitalcraftsman

Thank you for all your helps.
Once again, I'm afraid to ask if you would update the path to the new name too?
For example when checking in https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemes.gohugo.io%2Ftheme%2Ftheer, you need to use the old name "theer", instead of "hugo-primer".
Sorry for the troubles!

[digitalcraftsman]

Ahh, that was my mistake. In https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes/commit/66af28c82a4104bff355ef7616fcd43d8486ac61 I renamed the submodule itself as well. Once the theme has been rebuild you should be able to enter the expected url.
