Hi there

I am trying out Hugo with hosting on Gitlab  
What I did was the following;  
1/ I forked the Gitlab repo  
2/ made the necessary changes  
3/ I am able to get my site up running with the Beautiful Hugo  
4/ the next thing I did was to clone it  
5/ I also added the theme Hugo-fresh into the folder  
6/ I later on did a ‘git add .’ , commit and push  
7/ but the Hugo fresh theme is not in it  
8/ GitLab CI also throws an error that they cannot find the Hugo Fresh theme under /themes

May I ask if anyone hosted on gitlab and used their CI  
Like to ask for your help on setting it up with new themes

Thank you very much

I run my own Gitlab instance and runner, so I have experience with `.gitlab-ci.yml`.

Read [Requesting Help](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132) and share runner config and site, and we’ll get to debugging it. 🙂
