Create a new site with yaml format

Modified from here

1. Create directory Structure

   hugo new site --format=yaml foldername
   cd foldername
   

2. Initialize git repository and add theme

   Might I suggest using this forked version of the “liva” theme? It has some nice enhancements

   git init
   git submodule add https://github.com/danb0b/external_liva-hugo.git themes/liva-hugo
   # or
   git submodule add https://github.com/danb0b/website_hugo_framework.git themes/website_hugo_framework
   

3. Add theme to config.yaml

   echo theme: \"liva-hugo\" >> config.yaml
   # or 
   echo theme: \"website_hugo_framework\" >> config.yaml
   

4. Customize config.yaml

5. Run server for testing

   Production:

   hugo server
   

   With Drafts:

   hugo server -D
