This is a starter project for Hugo with integration of ButterCMS. This includes a posts generator written in Go which uses the ButterCMS SDK for Go to retrieve posts from ButterCMS.
This project was created as an example use case of ButterCMS in conjunction with Hugo, and will not be actively maintained.

The following turn-key starters are fully integrated with dynamic sample content from your ButterCMS account, including main menu, pages, blog posts, categories, and tags, all with a beautiful, custom theme with already-implemented search functionality.
