Initial setup

To get started with Tract, first create a new Hugo project. In this guide, the project will be called my-docs.

hugo new site my-docs && cd my-docs

Now initialize Git and clone the Tract theme repository as a submodule:

git init
git submodule add https://github.com/tract-docs/tract themes/tract

Now download an example Hugo config file:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tract-docs/tract/master/exampleSite/config.toml

Run the site locally

With the initial theme and configuration in place, you can start the Hugo server locally:

hugo server

Now navigate to http://localhost:1313 in your browser to see the new site.

Now that you've completed the initial setup, you can move on to adding content.
