Blog on GitHub with Hexo and Icarus theme

I wanted to create a simple blog for documentation and how-to tutorials. I would be writing in markup language, as I am using GitHub repositories. I would also like to have automated the posting dates, menus, tags, navigation and have an adapted view for mobile devices.

I will not be thorough, just dot the guidelines and changes I had to make to the references below, due to updated software and my specific Linux host OS (Fedora 23). For additional information, links are provided in each chapter.

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Setting up Hexo with GitHub
  3. References and Credits
  4. Summary

1. Prerequisites

Install Git

You can check updated details in “Getting Started - Installing Git“.

  • Linux (Ubuntu, Debian): sudo apt install git-all
  • Linux (Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS): sudo dnf install git-all
  • Windows: Download & install git.
  • Mac: Download & install git.

Install Node.js

As suggested in “How to install Node.js” the best way to install Node.js is with nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

To install or update nvm, you should run the install script. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash

Once nvm is installed, restart the terminal and run the following command to install Node.js (you can check latest available versions in https://nodejs.org/ but I would recommend to let nvm to automatically select the latest LTS version for you):

1
nvm install --lts

You can check the installed version with nvm current or nvm alias. This is the output:

Hexo installation

Once all the requirements are installed, you can install Hexo with npm. Detailed and advanced procedure is explained here: https://hexo.io/docs/#Install-Hexo.

1
npm install -g hexo-cli

This is the output:

+ hexo-cli@3.1.0
added 81 packages from 322 contributors in 7.941s

Set up a GitHub repository

Set up a github repo with the name: {github_user_name}.github.io.

In my case it was barondandi.github.io

If you did it right you should be able to access the webpage https://{github_user_name}.github.io

In my case it is https://barondandi.github.io

If you need extra help detailed procedure is explained in “Creating a GitHub Pages site” (https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site).

2. Setting up Hexo with GitHub

Setup a blog

We will generate the a {blogname} folder and install dependencies with the following commands:

1
2
3
4
hexo init {blogname}
cd {blogname}
npm i
git init

NOTE: In our case the {blogname} will be the previously created repository ({github_user_name}.github.io)

Install a theme

You have a lot of Hexo themes to choose from here https://hexo.io/themes/.

Once you decide your mind, fork it to customize it or just get the GitHub repo url from the theme info.

1
git submodule add {theme-github-url} themes/{theme-name}

You have the installation instructions inside each of the themes, for example, you could check this one: https://github.com/klugjo/hexo-theme-clean-blog

I will be using another theme: https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-theme-icarus

You can find detailed installation instructions in “Getting Started with Icarus” (https://blog.zhangruipeng.me/hexo-theme-icarus/uncategorized/getting-started-with-icarus/)

We will install Icarus as a Git submodule with the following command:

1
git submodule add https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-theme-icarus.git themes/icarus

Edit YAML configuration files

You can modify the files using vi, nano, Hexo commands (https://hexo.io/docs/commands) or any text editor you feel comfortable with.

NOTE: I would recommend Atom or Visual Studio, as they come with a lot of plugins that make life a lot easier.

We start by editing the _config.yml file in the main folder. A description of all the parameters we can change is here: https://hexo.io/docs/configuration.

Some themes may have an example configuration file, so we would start by copying that theme example file to the _config.yml file in the theme folder:

1
cp themes/{theme-name}/_config.yml.example themes/{theme-name}/_config.yml

NOTE: Some themes may differ on _config.yml.example file name. Refer to the theme docs. In our case, Icarus’ default theme configuration file is themes/icarus/_config.yml, so there is nothing to do (if you don’t find it, it will be created during deployment).

Now we need to update _config.yml on the project root folder to use newly installed theme. (Don’t get confused with the theme config file on the theme folder).

1
nano _config.yml

We look for the “theme:” attribute and change it. In our case, I will be changing the default theme: landscape for theme: icarus.

This is the aspect of that part of the _config.yml configuration file:

1
2

# Extensions
## Plugins: https://hexo.io/plugins/
## Themes: https://hexo.io/themes/
theme: icarus

Other option is to use the hexo command to change the theme to Icarus:

1
hexo config theme {theme-name}

Now we configure blog parameters and deployment information:

We keep on editing _config.yml in root repository folder (Don’t get confused with the theme config file), and update blog info as desired.

1
nano _config.yml

This is the aspect of that part of the _config.yml configuration file:

# Site

subtitle: ''

keywords:

# URL

Add below code at the bottom of the file for deploy on github repo (https://hexo.io/docs/one-command-deployment).

# Deployment
## Docs: https://hexo.io/docs/deployment.html
deploy:
  type: git
  repo: {your github repo url}
  branch: master
  message: "Site updated: {{ now('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss') }}"

Now it is a good time to review and modify the theme themes/{theme-name}/_config.yml file in the theme folder. for this, refer to the theme docs.

In our case, Icarus theme had resources missing, but they will be created during the first deployment, and we will revisit this point afterwards.

Deploy the blog

Now we can deploy the blog:

1
2
npm i -S hexo-deployer-git
hexo deploy

In our case we had some issues due to missing dependencies, but we run the specified command and had it corrected. This is the output:

Now we may want to edit the theme configuration file on themes/{theme-name}_config.yml. For our chosen theme, detailed information is in the “Icarus User Guide - Configuring the Theme” (https://blog.zhangruipeng.me/hexo-theme-icarus/Configuration/icarus-user-guide-configuring-the-theme/)

1
nano themes/{theme-name}/_config.yml

Add the source to the GitHub repository (optional)

Optionally, you might want to maintain a different version of the code, you could make another branch and push the commits there instead of to the default “master” branch.

We will be creating another branch called “source” and pushing there the commits.

Removing a post

As there is no command to delete a post on Hexo, we need to follow this steps :

  1. Delete the post under source/_post folder
    1. (OPTIONAL) Run hexo clean to delete the database (db.json) and assets folder. Make sure to back-up any content that you have posted inside “public” folder as it will be purged as well (for example images).
  3. Run hexo generate to generate the new blog without your deleted post
  4. Run hexo deploy to deploy your blog
