Installation
Quick Start
To give you a running start this installation puts a fully configured starter repo into your Git account and sets it up in a content manager / CMS.
Forestry Starter-Kit:

Standard Installation
To install Hyde as your default theme, first install this repository in the themes/ directory:
$ cd themes/
$ git clone https://github.com/spf13/hyde.git
Second, specify hyde as your default theme in the config.toml file. Just add the line
theme = "hyde"
at the top of the file.
Options
Hyde includes some customizable options, typically applied via classes on the <body> element.
Sidebar menu
Create a list of nav links in the sidebar by assigning "menu=main" in the front matter, like so:
TOML
theme = "hyde"
[Menus]
main = [
{Name = "Github", URL = "https://github.com/username/"},
{Name = "LinkedIn", URL = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/"}
]
YAML
theme: "hyde"
menus:
main:
- name: Github
url: https://github.com/username/
- name: LinkedIn
url: https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/
Sidebar description
Customise the describe of your page using description, like so:
TOML
theme = "hyde"
[params]
description = "Your custom description"
YAML
theme: hyde
params:
description: Your custom description
Sticky sidebar content
By default Hyde ships with a sidebar that affixes it's content to the bottom of the sidebar. You can optionally disabled this by removing the .sidebar-sticky class from the sidebar's .container. Sidebar content will then normally flow from top to bottom.
<!-- Default sidebar -->
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="container sidebar-sticky">
...
</div>
</div>
<!-- Modified sidebar -->
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="container">
...
</div>
</div>
Themes
Hyde ships with eight optional themes based on the base16 color scheme. Apply a theme to change the color scheme (mostly applies to sidebar and links).

There are eight themes available at this time.

To use a theme, add the themeColor variable under params, like so:
TOML
theme = "hyde"
[params]
themeColor = "theme-base-09"
YAML
theme: hyde
params:
themeColor: theme-base-09
To create your own theme, look to the Themes section of included CSS file. Copy any existing theme (they're only a few lines of CSS), rename it, and change the provided colors.
Reverse layout

To reverse page orientation, add the layoutReverse variable under params, like so:
TOML
theme = "hyde"
[params]
layoutReverse = true
YAML
theme: hyde
params:
layoutReverse: true
Custom CSS
Add a file to assets/css/custom.css in your Hugo project and it will be appended to the CSS bundle.
Disqus
You can optionally enable a comment system powered by Disqus for the posts. Simply add the variable disqusShortname to your config file.
TOML
disqusShortname = "spf13"
YAML
disqusShortname: spf13
Note: Previous version 1.0 the Disqus shortname had to be defined inside the [params] block.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics can be enabled by assigning your tracking code to the googleAnalytics variable in the config file:
TOML
googleAnalytics = "Your tracking code"
YAML
googleAnalytics: Your tracking code
