This template provides a basic Hugo skeleton. All files are generated at build time, so at runtime only static files need to be served. The Hugo executable itself is downloaded during the build hook. You can specify the version to use by updating the .platform.app.yaml file. It also includes a minimal template to get you started, but you are free to replace it with your own template.
Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, using Go's native template packages for formatting.
- Go 1.15
- Automatic TLS certificates
- Hugo downloaded on the fly during build
The content directory includes two pieces of sample content, provided so that the initial install has some content to show. Replace it with your actual content as desired.
You can also remove the minimal theme if you so desire and replace it with one you download or one you create yourself.
