How to make changes to the theme

Follow these guidelines if your tasks requires you to make changes to the theme of the website :

  • The theme resides in hugo as submodule in the themes directory. If you make changes to the theme and push to this repo they won't be reflected ont the wenbite even though they work locally! Treat the submodule as a separate git repository with a different remote.
  • After making changes to the theme, you need to push your changes to its remote the same way you would do for any other remote.
