Setting up a Documentation Website for your Software Project with Hugo and Netlify

1

Netlify

Start out by creating a (free) account on Netlify. You can sign up with your GitHub account to facilitate bringing in your repository if it's hosted there. You should be able to get a "starter" account, which should be enough to get your static site hosted for free.

Hugo

Congratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in /home/erika/Projects/mydocs. Just a few more steps and you're ready to go: 1. Download a theme into the same-named folder. Choose a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/ or create your own with the "hugo new theme " command. 2. Perhaps you want to add some content. You can add single files with "hugo new /.". 3. Start the built-in live server via "hugo server". Visit https://gohugo.io/ for quickstart guide and full documentation.
