My blog was hosted on Wordpress, then Octopress, then Hutspot.
I'm switching it to Hugo, which seems well-supported and has a ton of plugins and themes, and GitHub Pages integration is very simple via GitHub Action.
## Setup
I installed Hugo using the asdf
asdf plugin add hugo
asdf install hugo latest
asdf global hugo latest
Then I installed extended hugo
hugo version
hugo v0.142.0-1f746a872442e66b6afd47c8c04ac42dc92cdb6f+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=2025-01-22T12:20:52Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
Hugo is 0.142.0, install same extended version with asdf
asdf install hugo extended_0.142.0
asdf global hugo extended_0.142.0
I used PaperMod, latest version is 7.0, Feb 2023, so I just download tarball
mkdir Documents/Perso
hugo new site blog.hgomez.net
cd blog.hgomez.net
git init
# Grab latest PaperMod (latest release 7.0 didn't works as expected)
curl -L https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod/archive/master.zip -Os
cd themes
unzip ../master.zip
mv hugo-PaperModmaster/ PaperMod
cd ..
rm -f master.zip
# Activation PaperMode Theme
echo "theme = 'PaperMode'" >> hugo.toml
Start Hugo Server
