Then create styles/custom.scss file and write your own styles there. your custom rules will override the default ones. you can place custom.scss in theme-scoped or site-scoped assets folder.

    └── hugo-nuo
        ├── assets

If you want to change avatar or favicons without modifying this theme, just copy themes/hugo-nuo/assets and themes/hugo-nuo/static to your blog root dir and keep the filename the same with theme.

│   └── manifest.json
└── themes
    └── hugo-nuo

Above is your blog repo structure, now you can replace images with your own, and don't need to modify theme anymore.

Build

⚠️ Big Change

This theme has been using hugo pipes instead of webpack now, no build package needed now.

I use ImageOptim to make images load faster, I recommend this tool to you.

From Hugo 0.28, the default syntax hightlighter in Hugo is Chroma; it is built in Go and is really, really fast – and for the most important parts compatible with Pygments.

$ hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > ./src/styles/partials/syntax.css

Run hugo gen chromastyles -h for more options. See https://help.farbox.com/pygments.html for a gallery of available styles.

Nearly finished

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.
