How does Omega Hugo work?
Omega Hugo is built around Hugo's file-based content model: pages and posts are Markdown files with front matter, and theme settings live in the site config. After cloning the repository, run npm run project-setup and then npm run dev to start the development server. For non-technical editing, the theme integrates with Sitepins, a Git-based headless CMS that writes changes back to the content files.
