Discontinued Hugo port of the al-folio Jekyll theme for academic websites.
A customizable Jekyll portfolio theme with about, portfolio, and tools sections, easily configured via _config.yml.
Academic Folio is a discontinued Hugo theme that ports the popular Jekyll theme al-folio for academic websites. The repository is no longer actively developed, so it serves mainly as a reference or starting point for academics and developers who want to build academic sites with Hugo.
Academic Folio is a Hugo port of al-folio, a widely used Jekyll theme for academic personal websites. The theme converts Hugo content files and data files into a static website, aiming to reproduce al-folio's typical academic sections such as a biography, publications, and projects. It runs on Hugo, the static site generator, and uses Hugo's Go template system instead of Jekyll's Liquid. The project is listed on GitHub with 21 stars and carries the topics academic-website, al-folio, hugo, and hugo-theme. Its description explicitly states that it is discontinued, so new users should expect no further updates or bug fixes.
Academic users who prefer Hugo over Jekyll and want an al-folio-style website can use this theme as a starting point. Developers who need to maintain a Hugo-based academic site may also find it useful to fork and modify. However, because the project is discontinued, it is best suited for people comfortable maintaining their own fork.
