Installation

letsblaze requires Hugo 0.134.0 or later. Run hugo version to check.

Option 1 — Git submodule (recommended)

cd your-hugo-site
git submodule add https://github.com/thomaslaurenson/letsblaze themes/letsblaze

In hugo.toml:

theme = "letsblaze"

To update the theme later:

git submodule update --remote --merge

Option 2 — Hugo module

Initialise your site as a Hugo module if you haven’t already:

hugo mod init github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-SITE

In hugo.toml:

[module]
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "github.com/thomaslaurenson/letsblaze"

Pull the module:

hugo mod get

Option 3 — Manual download

Download the repository as a zip from GitHub and extract it into themes/letsblaze/. Set theme = "letsblaze" in hugo.toml.

This method requires manual updates.
