Geekdoc is a simple Hugo theme for documentations. It is intentionally designed as a fast and lean theme and may not fit the requirements of complex projects. If a more feature-complete theme is required there are a lot of good alternatives out there. You can find a demo and the full documentation at [https://geekdocs.de](https://geekdocs.de).

## Build and release process

This theme is subject to a CI driven build and release process common for software development. During the release build, all necessary assets are automatically built by [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) and bundled in a release tarball. You can download the latest release from the GitHub [release page](https://github.com/thegeeklab/hugo-geekdoc/releases).

Due to the fact that `webpack` and `npm scripts` are used as pre-processors, the theme cannot be used from the main branch by default. If you want to use the theme from a cloned branch instead of a release tarball you'll need to install `webpack` locally and run the build script once to create all required assets.

```Shell
# install required packages from package.json
npm install

# run the build script to build required assets
npm run build

# build release tarball
npm run pack
```

See the [Getting Started Guide](https://geekdocs.de/usage/getting-started/) for details about the different setup options.
