## Quick start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/welpo/tabi.git
cd tabi
zola serve
```

Open http://127.0.0.1:1111/ in the browser.

## Installation

To add tabi to you existing Zola site:

0. Initialize a Git repository in your project directory (if you haven't already):

```
git init
```

1. Add the theme as a git submodule:

```
git submodule add https://github.com/welpo/tabi.git themes/tabi
```

Or clone the theme into your themes directory:

```
git clone https://github.com/welpo/tabi.git themes/tabi
```

### Required configuration

2. Enable the theme in your `config.toml`:

```
theme = "tabi"
```

3. Set a `title` in your `config.toml`:

```
title = "Your Site Title"
```

4. Create a `content/_index.md` file with the following content:

```
+++
title = "Home"
paginate_by = 5 # Set the number of posts per page
template = "index.html"
+++
```

If you want to serve your blog posts from a different path, such as `blog/`, add a `section_path` in the `[extra]` section of `content/_index.md` (this file will need pagination):

```
[extra]
section_path = "blog/_index.md"
```

5. If you want an introduction section (see screenshot above), add these lines to `content/_index.md`:

```
[extra]
header = {title = "Hello! I'm tabi~", img = "$BASE_URL/img/main.webp" }
```

The content outside the front matter will be rendered between the header title and the posts listing. In the screenshot above, it's the text that reads "tabi is a fast, lightweight, and modern Zola theme…".
