+# Hugo Theme Chirpy Starter Template
+
+This is a quick start template for [Hugo Theme Chirpy](https://github.com/geekifan/hugo-theme-chirpy). It uses [Hugo modules](https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/) feature to load the theme.
+
+It comes with a basic theme structure and configuration. GitHub action has been set up to deploy the theme to a public GitHub page automatically. Also, there's a cron job to update the theme automatically everyday.
+
+## Get started
+
+1. Click *Use this template*, and create your repository as `<username>.github.io` on GitHub.
+![Step 1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5889006/156916624-20b2a784-f3a9-4718-aa5f-ce2a436b241f.png)
+
+2. Once the repository is created, create a GitHub codespace associated with it.

+
+3. And voila! You're ready to go. The codespace has been configured with the latest version of Hugo extended, just run `hugo server` in the terminal and see your new site in action.
+
+4. Check `config` folder for the configuration files. You can edit them to suit your needs. Make sure to update the `baseURL` property in `hugo.toml` to your site's URL.
+
+5. Open Settings -> Pages. Change the build branch from `main` to `gh-pages`.

+
+6. Once you're done editing the site, just commit it and push it. GitHub action will deploy the site automatically to GitHub page asociated with the repository.

+
+---
+
+In case you don't want to use GitHub codespace, you can also run this template in your local machine. **You need to install Git, Go and Hugo extended locally.**
+
+## Update theme manually
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+hugo mod get -u github.com/geekifan/hugo-theme-chirpy
+hugo mod tidy
+```
