# Hugo + Netlify = So Easy !


## I deployed a website on Netlify

This website is made with the famous framework Hugo.  
https://aws-notes.netlify.app/

## Who is Hugo ?

Hugo is a very popular open-source static site generator.
Hugo is written in Golang.

## Is it easy to use ?

Hugo is very easy to use.  
I was looking for a fast and easy solution for my website.  
I wanted a place to take some notes white i am studying for the AWS Developer associate certification.  
I am really interested about Golang and i heard about Hugo, so i tried it.  

## What is Netlify ?  

Netlify is a platform that offers hosting and serverless backend services for web applications and static websites.  

## Where to start ?

I just followed the  [Quick start](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/) 


```
brew install hugo
``` 

```
hugo version
``` 

```
hugo new site <name_of_your_site>
``` 


Then i chose a theme here :   
https://themes.gohugo.io/   


```
cd <name_of_your_site>
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/pathOfThethemeYouLike
``` 


```
echo 'theme = "..."' >> config.toml
``` 


Then I started to write my first post  


```
hugo new posts/my-first-post.md
``` 


I pushed the code to github.  
And boom ! That was it !  

## Is it hard to deploy Hugo on Netlify ?  

It’s super easy !  
On the hosting and deployment section of the Hugo documentation, you can find all the details to help you deploy your Hugo app on Netlify.  

Check it out : 
https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-netlify/

It takes like 5 minutes to deploy your app.

And now, everytime i want to update my website, i juste have to push a new commit, and it's updated just like that :)
