Headline

[!IMPORTANT] This repo is synced automatically with the TryGhost/Themes monorepo. If you're looking to contribute or raise an issue, head over to the main repository TryGhost/Themes where our official themes are developed.

Headline is a Ghost theme built from the ground up for local news. While it can be used for any purpose, the theme takes a thoughtful approach to displaying large amounts of content across various areas of coverage. Headline adapts to your content by showcasing your most written about topics or by giving you the control to decide which topics are front and center.

Instructions

1. Download this theme
2. Log into Ghost, and go to the Design settings area to upload the zip file

Development

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, pnpm and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# Install
pnpm install

# Run build & watch for changes
pnpm dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/headline.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

pnpm zip
