Hugo: a fast and modern static website engine

• Introduction to HUGO, a fast and modern static website engine ( GitHub, GoDoc ).

• A tutorial about Hosting on GitHub Pages.

• Prebuilt releases can be downloaded from github.com/spf13/hugo/releases.

  • Alternatively, compiling from source is achieved with a single go command: go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo. However, since some of the repositories use Mercurial (hg), installing it on advance is required: pacman -Ss mercurial (MSYS2), dnf install mercurial (Fedora). For further information see GoGetTools.

• Configuration

  • Blackfriday is the Markdown rendering engine used in Hugo

• Extras

  • Built-in
    • LiveReload: $ hugo server --watch > Awesome for development, but not something you would want to do in production. Since many people use hugo server –watch in production to instantly display any updated content, we’ve made it easy to disable the LiveReload functionality: $ hugo server --watch --disableLiveReload
    • Aliases
