The files that matter are not hard to find.

• hugo.toml sets the theme, site title, and footer text.
• content/ holds the homepage and this short guide. Its section tree also drives the sidebar.
• themes/starless/layouts/_default/baseof.html builds the page shell and the shared styling.
• themes/starless/layouts/partials/sidebar.html renders the left rail.
• themes/starless/layouts/partials/menu-tree.html renders the nested section and page links.
• themes/starless/layouts/_default/home.html, list.html, and single.html handle the main content area.

If you are trying to understand the theme, read those files in that order. There is not much else hiding off to the side.
