A minimalist static blog built with Hugo using the Bear Blog theme.

Fetch blog theme files (required before running the site):

git submodule update --init --recursive

Start the Hugo development server:

hugo server

The site will be available at http://localhost:1313/

To include draft posts in the preview:

hugo server -D

Create a new blog post using Hugo's built-in command:

hugo new blog/my-post-title.md

This creates a file at content/blog/my-post-title.md with the default frontmatter:

---
title: "My Post Title"
date: 2025-01-15T10:00:00-00:00
draft: true
---

You can add additional frontmatter fields:

---
title: "My Post Title"
date: 2025-01-15T10:00:00-00:00
tags: ["hugo", "blogging"]
tldr: "Brief summary of the post"
draft: false
---

Create a standalone page (like About, Contact, etc.):

hugo new pages/my-page.md

For pages that should appear in the main menu, add these frontmatter fields:

---
title: "About me"
date: 2025-01-15
tags: ["about"]
draft: false
type: page
menu: main
---

├── blog/              # Blog posts

│   └── about.md       # Example: About page
└── eli5/              # Custom section (ELI5 posts)
    └── eli5-1.md

1. Edit the post content in content/blog/your-post.md
2. Change draft: true to draft: false in the frontmatter
3. Commit and push to your repository

Generate the static site:

hugo

This creates the site in the public/ directory.

Site configuration is in config.toml:

• Base URL
• Site title and author
• Theme settings
• Permalink structure

This site appears to use GitHub Pages for deployment. The static files are generated in the public/ directory and served directly.
