How to start
You can download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git and pasting it to themes/hello-friend-ng
in your root directory.
You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:
$ git clone https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng
If you don't want to make any radical changes, it's the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. To do so, include it as a git submodule:
$ git submodule add https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng

Take a look into this list of available icon options.
If you need another one, just open an issue or create a pull request with your wished icon. :)
Known issues
There is a bug in Hugo that sometimes causes the main page not to render correctly. The reason is an empty taxonomy part. Related issue tickets: !14 !59.

[taxonomies]
tag = "tags"
category = "categories"
How to edit the theme
Just edit it. You don't need any node stuff. ;)
