Updating Hugo and My Beautifulhugo Theme After a Year Away

Theme update and site improvements

Somehow this is my first post in a long time, and before I knew it more than a year had passed without an update. (^_^;)

Lately I have been doing vibe coding with generative AI, so I had no time to write articles.

As for the Hugo behind this blog, if I do not keep it updated then changes in its features start causing problems, so I updated it.
While I was updating Hugo, I also changed the look of the Beautifulhugo theme.
For the changes as well, making use of generative AI these days keeps the coding moving along easily.

What I updated

Theme update

I updated the Beautifulhugo theme via Hugo Module.

Adding a Gist shortcode

The Gist shortcode was deprecated in version 0.143.0 and is scheduled to be removed in a future release, so I created a new shortcode and applied it.

Changed the header image and the front page background image

It used to be the Gitlab icon, so I put it back to the default avatar image.
The background image had been an image on Imgur, but I changed it to a local image with the file type set to AVIF.

Added tag buttons and a Read more button

I achieved it with a small CSS fix.

Added a clipboard button inside code blocks

It used to have an unstylish copy button, so I added a clipboard button.
