{{% warning "Use Absolute Links" %}}
If you're creating a theme with plans to share it on the [Hugo Themes website](https://themes.gohugo.io/) please note that your theme's demo will be available in a sub-directory of website and for the theme's assets to load properly you will need to create absolute paths in the templates by using either the [absURL](/functions/absurl) function or `.Permalink`. Also make sure not to use a forward slash `/` in the beginning of a `PATH`, because Hugo will turn it into a relative URL and the `absURL` function will have no effect.
{{% /warning %}}
Hugo can initialize a new blank theme directory within your existing `themes` using the `hugo new` command:
```
hugo new theme [name]
```
