Description
This tutorial describes how to use Hugo, a static site generator (SSG) written in Go. By “static site” we mean a website that consists of pages that are served directly to the client, without any additional server-side processing. SSGs are especially handy when you’re building not-too-complex sites like a personal blog, a product page, an informational resource, and so on.
Hugo boasts rich features, is very quick thanks to Go, and has lots of third-party themes, an active community, and detailed documentation. This guide covers the following topics:
- installing and configuring Hugo
- creating pages and adding content
- providing meta information with the help of front matter
- using archetypes and taxonomies
- organizing content
- creating a theme
- internationalizing a website
- deploying a project

It does a nice job of getting into Hugo and creating a demo. Especially liked using Bootstrap and SASS.
