Building this Website with Hugo and GitHub Pages

I recently decided to create my own personal website to showcase my work and projects. After some research, I found Hugo, a fantastic framework for building fast and responsive sites. With the help of a theme and a few customizations, I was able to put together a great-looking website.

Hugo’s simplicity and flexibility stood out to me. It allowed me to focus on content creation rather than dealing with complex website development tasks. Plus, Hugo’s fast rendering speed ensures that my website loads quickly for visitors. I could make quick revisions to the site by using hugo server command in linux. This would reload my browser in real time while changes were being made.

One of the standout features of Hugo is its use of Markdown. This lightweight markup language makes creating and formatting content a breeze. Whether I’m writing a post or updating project details, Markdown streamlines the process and ensures consistent styling across my entire website.

To host my website, I turned to GitHub Pages, which offers free hosting for static websites. With GitHub Actions enabled, I set up automatic deployment, so every time I push changes to my GitHub repository, my website updates seamlessly.

In a nutshell, Hugo and GitHub Pages have made the process of creating and maintaining my personal website super easy. If you’re looking for a fast and straightforward way to showcase your work online, I highly recommend giving this combination a try.
