Hello Friend 4s3ti

General informations

This theme is a mix between hello-friend-ng and the original hello-friend considering both have features I like and lack others, I’ve decided to roll up my sleeve and tweak it a bit, the biggest change is most likely a dependency on fontawesome kits.

You can see it in action here: https://4s3ti.net

How to start

You can download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/4s3ti/hugo-theme-hello-4s3ti.git and pasting it to themes/hello-4s3ti in your root directory.

You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/4s3ti/hugo-theme-hello-4s3ti.git themes/hello-4s3ti

If you don’t want to make any radical changes, it’s the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. To do so, include it as a git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/4s3ti/hugo-theme-hello-4s3ti.git themes/hello-4s3ti

Code highlighting

By default the theme is using PrismJS to color your code syntax. All you need to do is to wrap you code like this:

``` html
  // your code here
```

Favicon

Check the docs.

Audio Support

You wrote an article and recorded it? Or do you have a special music that you would like to put on a certain article? Then you can do this now without further ado.

In your article add to your front matters part:

audio: path/to/file.mp3

Social Icons:

FontAwesome

To use the Social Media icons and the Share Icons you are required to have at least a free FontAwesome Icon Kit

  • Go to FontAwesome
  • Create an account
  • Go to kits, create new kit
  • Add the Kit Link to your config

A large variety of social icons are available and can be configured like this:

[[params.social]]
  name = "<site>"
  url = "<profile_URL>"

If the icon is not available or you wish to use another icon, you can also override the icon by specifying the Icon value.

[[params.social]]
  name = "<site>"
  url = "<profile_URL>"
  icon = "<Icon>"

Hide Title and Language on single pages 

+++
Title = "Ferramentas"
hideTitle = true
hidelanguage = true
