Quick start makes Hugo seem dependent on git and GitHub

And from helping folks over the last year, I think the only parts you need to learn is how to init , clone , and submodule , to follow the directions most theme authors leave for installing.

As far as themes, yeah only a small subset of git commands are necessary to know. Basically:

Type	Clone Command	Update Command
Regular	git clone <repo>	git pull
Submodule	git submodule add <repo>	git submodule update --remote --merge

Hmmm, I don’t think it is the Hugo project’s job to explain current development practices may be practical requirements, but we sure do get a lot folks coming in claiming this. I’ve never seen that explained in a project, how about you, @zwbetz?

I’ve never seen it explicitly explained either.
There is much to know about git. I just know the basics, which are enough to do what I need.
