Long Haul is a minimal, long form theme for Astro. I originally built this theme for Jekyll about 8 years ago(yikes). Somehow, that theme has almost 700 forks and almost 600 stars on GitHub so I figured I'd bring it into the future with Astro 🚀.

npm installThe main settings can be found inside the src/data/settings.ts file. In this file you can edit the site title, description and url. You will also find the navigation menus for the header and footer here.
To change the green primary color you will need to open the _config.scss file and change the following variables:
--primary-color: #2d8653; // Used for links and buttons
--primary-color-shade: #21633e; // Used for the button hover
--link-hover: #246b43; // Anchor hover color(separate for light and dark theme)
After adding your new image to the public/images folder, change the path of the hero in the src/data/settings.ts file to point to your new image.
