Website Hugo Set Up

Hugo provides its own webserver which builds and server the site. By default, hugo will also watch your files for any changes you make and automatically rebuild the site. It will then live reload any open browser page and push the latest content to them. To start the server run in root:

hugo server -D

Creating a new page

• a new variable must be added under “permalinks” in “config/_default/config.toml”

• new folders with the same variable name must be created in the “content”, “layout” and “partial” folders

• in the newly created layouts folder, a “single.html” file must be created

• html file segments of the page will be created in the partial folder and pull into single.html

• markdown for page is put into contents folder

• content folder must be created with a unique filename even if there is no intention to use markdown, or page will cause an error**
