Initialize Hugo site

Now picking a theme for your Hugo portfolio site is essential to define its look and feel. Here’s how to choose and customize a theme:

1. Visit the Hugo Themes website to browse available themes.
2. Look for themes that suit your style and the type of content you plan to showcase in your portfolio.
3. Once you find a theme you like, click on it to view more details and installation instructions.

Assuming that you have chosen the “Blowfish” theme for your portfolio, here are the steps to install and customize it:

The Blowfish developers just launched a new CLI tool to help you get started with Blowfish. It will create a new Hugo project, install the theme and set up the theme configuration files for you:

1. Open your terminal and navigate to your Hugo site directory.
2. Use the following command to create a new Hugo site with the Blowfish theme:

npm i -g blowfish-tools

1. Then run:

blowfish-tools new portfolio

Use the CLI tool to customize your theme settings.

1. Navigate into your new site directory:

cd portfolio
blowfish-tools

1. Initialize a new Git repository:

git init

1. Add a remote repository (replace <your-repo-url> with your GitHub repository URL):

git remote add origin <your-repo-url>

Now your Hugo site is initialized and ready for further customization!
