Please note that files have a markup for correct display on the site: the title, the title of the link, the weight (affects the order of files display on the sidebar) and description (optional):

---
title: "Title"
linkTitle: "Link Title"
weight: 1
description: >

Add a path to "hugo" in the "Path" environment variable.

Clone a repository branch containing the site. For example, using a git command:

git clone --branch <branchname> <remote-repo-url>

If you want to build and/or serve your site locally, you also need to get local copies of the theme’s own submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

To build and preview your site locally, use:

cd <your local directory>/cvat/site/
hugo server

By default, your site will be available at http://localhost:1313/

Instead of a "hugo server" command, you can use the "hugo" command that generates the site into a "public" folder.

cd <your local directory>/cvat/site/
npm ci
