{{% warning "Use Relative Links" %}} If you're creating a theme with plans to share it with the community, use relative URLs since users of your theme may not publish from the root of their website. See relURL and absURL. {{% /warning %}}
Hugo can initialize a new blank theme directory within your existing themes using the hugo new command:
hugo new theme [name]
Theme Components
A theme consists of templates and static assets such as javascript and css files. Themes can also provide archetypes, which are archetypal content types used by the hugo new command to scaffold new content files with preconfigured front matter.
{{% note "Use the Hugo Generator Tag" %}}
The .Hugo.Generator tag is included in all themes featured in the Hugo Themes Showcase. We ask that you include the generator tag in all sites and themes you create with Hugo to help the core team track Hugo's usage and popularity.

Layouts
Hugo is built around the concept that things should be as simple as possible. Fundamentally, website content is displayed in two different ways, a single piece of content and a list of content items. With Hugo, a theme layout starts with the defaults. As additional layouts are defined, they are used for the content type or section they apply to. This keeps layouts simple, but permits a large amount of flexibility.
Single Content
The default single file layout is located at layouts/_default/single.html.
List of Contents
The default list file layout is located at layouts/_default/list.html.
Partial Templates
Theme creators should liberally use partial templates throughout their theme files. Not only is a good DRY practice to include shared code, but partials are a special template type that enables the themes end user to be able to overwrite just a small piece of a file or inject code into the theme from their local /layouts. These partial templates are perfect for easy injection into the theme with minimal maintenance to ensure future compatibility.
Static
Everything in the static directory will be copied directly into the final site when rendered. No structure is provided here to enable complete freedom. It is common to organize the static content into:
/css
/js
/img
The actual structure is entirely up to you, the theme creator, on how you would like to organize your files.
Archetypes
If your theme makes use of specific keys in the front matter, it is a good idea to provide an archetype for each content type you have. Read more about archetypes.
