Hikari is a simple theme for bloggers, whose minimalism tries to focus readers on the content. It's a port of Mathieu Mayer-Mazzoli's orignal Hikari theme made for Jekyll. Noteworthy features are the integration of a comment-system powered by Disqus, optional statistics via Google Analytics, support for RSS and syntax highlighting for source code in blog posts.

Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

$ mkdir themes
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/hugo-hikari-theme.git

For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.

Take a look inside the exampleSite folder of this theme. You'll find a file called config.toml.

To use it, copy the config.toml in the root folder of your Hugo site. Feel free to change strings as you like to customize your website.

This theme features a comment system powered by Disqus too. Just add your Disqus-shortname to the config.toml and let readers respond to your blog posts.

In order to get statistics about your blog and it's visitors, just enter your tracking code in the corresponding field in the configs. As with Disqus, the use of Google Analytics is completely optional.

In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server.

$ hugo server

Now enter localhost:1313 in the address bar of your browser.
