Hi there

This is the source code for my personal blog built with Hexo and using a customized version of the Cactus theme, added as a Git submodule.

🚀 Cloning the Repository

Since this project uses a submodule for the theme, make sure to clone it recursively:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/your-username/your-blog-repo.git
cd your-blog-repo

If you already cloned it without --recurse-submodules, run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

📝 Creating a New Post

To create a new blog post, run:

npx hexo new "your-post-title"

For example:

npx hexo new "Getting Started with Hexo"

This will create a new Markdown file under the source/_posts/ directory. You can then edit the file and write your content in Markdown.

🎨 Updating the Theme (Cactus Submodule)

If you want to apply updates from your customized theme repo, run:

cd themes/cactus
git pull origin main
cd ../..

Then commit the updated submodule reference:

git add themes/cactus
git commit -m "Update cactus theme submodule"
git push

🧪 Local Development

To preview your blog locally:

npm install
npx hexo serve

Then open http://localhost:4000 in your browser.
