Aloha

Aloha is an open-source Hexo blog theme that uses the Semantic UI framework to style static blog pages.

What is Aloha?

Aloha is a theme for Hexo, a static site generator, that relies on the Semantic UI framework for its visual components. It takes your Hexo blog's Markdown content and renders it as a styled website with navigation, layouts, and UI elements. The project is maintained by henryhuang on GitHub, currently has 72 stars, and includes Travis CI integration for automated builds.

Key Features

• Semantic UI styling — Aloha uses Semantic UI, a development framework that provides ready-made HTML/CSS/JS components for menus, buttons, forms, and grids, giving the theme a consistent look.
• Simple installation — Install the theme by running git clone https://github.com/henryhuang/hexo-theme-aloha.git themes/aloha from your Hexo blog's root directory, then set theme: aloha in your site's _config.yml.
• Online preview — View the theme in action at henryhuang.github.io/hexo-theme-aloha before installing it on your own blog.

• Versioned changelogs — Release notes are published for versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, and 0.1.2 in the wiki, so you can track what changes between updates.
• Continuous integration — Travis CI badges in the repository indicate that pull requests and commits are automatically tested.
