Jekyll to Hugo

Starting a new blog

For no other reason than to just start new.

I had previously been using Jekyll + GitHub Pages for a while and was just ready to do something different.

Enter Hugo + Cloudflare Pages.

Setup

I created a new directory, got Hugo installed, and picked a theme (https://github.com/hanwenguo/hugo-theme-nostyleplease)

Created a new repo, modified my hugo.toml to target my intended domain name.

Purchased my new domain on Cloudflare, and was immeidately prompted to select workers or pages and authed to my github and selected my new repo!

The one bit I did custom after select Hugo as the default framework was to set my environemnt variable for HUGO VERSION to what I had installed locally: HUGO_VERSION = 0.164.0.

Pushed up my changes for the demo posts and it’s live!
