How to Set Up a Portfolio Website with Hugo

This is based on the quickstart guide by "Stack" theme author CaiJimmy, but I wanted to make my own with additional steps that could be helpful for users less experienced with programming. Note that if you choose a different Hugo theme, the set up will be different, so I’d recommend following this example first to learn the basics, and then you can explore other themes after.

You the man JW. Thanks for this walkthru! You explain programming better than some programmers I know haha.

Phenomenal tutorial! Tried a few tuts, and this is the only one that I could follow along, while providing a basic understanding of how it all works under the hood. Thank you!

Hey JW, greetings from Peru! Big thanks for this—it's been a huge help! I've got some coding experience under my belt, but your guide really smoothed out the process. No sweat about setting up Hugo on my machine or anything. Really appreciate it, man!

Thank you so much for your video.

May I ask how to remove "Links" on the sidebar (which includes Home, Archives, Search, Links, ...) and add linkedin icon into social menu?
