Tech Stack
#

  • Static site generator: Hugo
  • Theme: Blowfish
  • Hosting: GitHub Pages
  • Domain: GoDaddy → custom domain
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions

Why Hugo?
#

Hugo is blazing fast, has great theme support, and deploys easily to GitHub Pages. No JavaScript runtime needed — just write Markdown and ship.

Setting Up
#

  1. Install Hugo
  2. Pick a theme (Blowfish is great!)
  3. Configure hugo.toml
  4. Write content in Markdown
  5. Push to GitHub → auto deploy

Simple and effective.
