Deploying this website

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 15:30:02 -0400

This site is a static Hugo build with a custom theme, and getting it live came down to three pieces: a build pipeline, a host, and a domain.

The build pipeline

Rather than build locally and push the output, I added a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/hugo.yaml) that builds the site with Hugo on every push to main and deploys it to GitHub Pages. The Hugo version in the workflow is pinned to match what’s installed locally, so hugo server -D and CI never drift apart.

This is the first post. Replace it with your own words — a good opener is why you’re writing in public and what a reader should expect.

A few things this theme handles out of the box:

Prose set in a readable serif at a comfortable measure.
Inline code and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting:

def teach(idea):
 return explain(idea, twice=True)

Blockquotes for the things other people said better.

That’s it. Write more posts with hugo new content posts/my-next-idea.md.
