Intro

• We'll be using yml/yaml format for all examples down below, I recommend using yml over toml as it is easier to read.
• You can find any YML to TOML converters if necessary.

Guide

Follow Quick Start guide to setup hugo and create a new site.

Note: Use -f to select yml format

git clone https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod themes/PaperMod --depth=1

Note: You may use --branch v5.0 to end of above command if you want to stick to specific release.

Updating theme :

cd themes/PaperMod
git pull

Method 2

You can use as submodule with

git submodule add https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod.git themes/PaperMod --depth=1
git submodule update --init --recursive # needed when you reclone your repo (submodules may not get cloned automatically)

Note: You may use --branch v5.0 to end of above command if you want to stick to specific release.
