# Hyde
Hyde is a brazen two-column [hugo](https://gohugo.io) theme based on the [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) theme of the same name.
It pairs a prominent sidebar with uncomplicated content.
**Note: this is a fork I (Brendan Abolivier) made to adapt Hyde to my needs. More info [below](#fork).**

## Installation
### Quick Start
To give you a running start this installation puts a fully configured [starter repo](https://github.com/forestryio/hyde-hugo-starter) into your Git account and sets it up in a content manager / CMS.
_[Forestry](https://forestry.io) Starter-Kit:_
[](https://app.forestry.io/quick-start?repo=forestryio/hyde-hugo-starter&provider=github&engine=hugo&version=0.49)
### 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 `` element.
### Sidebar menu
Create a list of nav links in the sidebar by assigning "menu=main" in the front matter, like so:
**TOML**
```toml
theme = "hyde"
[Menus]
main = [
{Name = "Github", URL = "https://github.com/username/"},
{Name = "LinkedIn", URL = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/"}
]
```
**YAML**
```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**
```toml
theme = "hyde"
[params]
description = "Your custom description"
```
**YAML**
```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.
```html
```
### Themes
Hyde ships with eight optional themes based on the [base16 color scheme](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16). 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**
```toml
theme = "hyde"
[params]
themeColor = "theme-base-09"
```
**YAML**
```yaml
theme: "hyde"
params:
themeColor: "theme-base-09"
```
To create your own theme, look to the Themes section of [included CSS file](https://github.com/poole/hyde/blob/master/public/css/hyde.css). 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**
```toml
theme = "hyde"
[params]
layoutReverse = true
```
**YAML**
```yaml
theme: "hyde"
params:
layoutReverse: true
```
### Disqus
You can optionally enable a comment system powered by Disqus for the posts. Simply add the variable `disqusShortname` to your config file.
**TOML**
```toml
disqusShortname = "spf13"
```
**YAML**
```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**
```toml
googleAnalytics = "Your tracking code"
```
**YAML**
```yaml
googleAnalytics: Your tracking code
```

## Fork
This is a fork of the Hyde theme I (Brendan Abolivier) made containing a few changes I made:
* Getting rid of Google Fonts
* Adding FontAwesome
* Adding meta tags for social network sharing and kind of SEO
* Adding an `author` key in the `params` section from the configuration file
* Adding special links to the sidebar menu using values from the `params` section in the configuration file:
| Configuration key | Description | Example value |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| twitter | Twitter @username | BrenAbolivier |
| github | GitHub username | babolivier |
| email | Email address | hello@brendanabolivier.com |
| pgp | PGP key fingerprint | E1D4 B745 7A82 9D77 1FBA 8CAC E860 1572 74A2 8D7E |
| keyserver | The key server to use in the key's menu link (must support HTTPS) | pgp.key-server.io |
* Replacing the `copyright` key in the `params` section from the configuration file with a `creativeCommons` key, expected to be a Creative Commons license identifier (such as `by`, `by-sa`, etc.)
* Adding a proper RSS feed template including items' descriptions in `` tags, and their contents in `` tags
* Adding support for posts' thumbnails, by supporting a `thumbnail` key in a post's front matter. Note that this value must not contain the `https://myblog.tld/images` part of the image's URL, which is added automatically before the key's value.
Note that none of the configuration parameters I added are optional (mainly because I don't need them to be, but PRs are welcome!). A live demo is available [on my blog](https://brendan.abolivier.bzh).
Of course, everything I didn't mess with belongs to the Hugo Hyde theme's authors and contributor.
