A live example of this theme is running at this site hugoscroll.fredrikloch.me
Using scroll
To get started with hugo you first need to download the binaries, whith these in place it is easy to get started.
# Init site
hugo new site My_New_Cool_Venture
cd My_New_Cool_Venture
# Get this cool theme

With this done you can start creating posts, for this theme theme there is some specific information that needs to be added to your post header. For the first and the last post you need to add a class definition, the headers for this page look like this:
+++
title = "What is this"
description = "First post"
weight = 1
type = "post"
class="post first"
+++
+++
title = "Finaly!"
description = "Last Post"
weight = 100
type = "post"
class="post last"
+++
Every standard post must contain a weight between the weight of the first and the last to ensure correct ordering, in this case this allows us to use any number between 2 – 99

Developing hugoscroll
In order to develop or make changes to the theme you will need to have the sass compiler and bourbon both installed.
To check installation run the following commands from a terminal and you should see the > cli output
but your version numbers may vary.
SASS
sass -v
> Sass 3.3.4 (Maptastic Maple)
If for some reason SASS isn’t installed follow the instructions from the Sass install page
Bourbon
bourbon help
> Bourbon 3.1.8
If Bourbon isn’t installed follow the installation instructions on the Bourbon website
Once installation is verified we will need to go mount the bourbon mixins into the scss
folder.
From the project root run bourbon install
with the correct path
bourbon install --path static/scss
> bourbon files installed to static/scss/bourbon/
Now that we have the bourbon mixins inside of the scss
src folder we can now use the sass cli command to watch the scss files for changes and recompile them.
sass --watch static/scss:static/css
>>>> Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
To minify the css files use the following command in the statics folder
curl -X POST -s --data-urlencode 'input@css/base.css' http://cssminifier.com/raw > css/base.min.css
