Wow I’m stunned by how fast Hugo builds! I’ve used Jekyll for the last few years (the OG SSG) and it takes about 2-3 seconds to build a small site. I thought that was pretty fast, but this blows that out of the water!

A+ sound and voice. You could make videos about anything. No errs, no umms. Tip top clear delivery.

This was GREAT!! Thanks, first video I've watched on Hugo and I already feel like I'm ready to get started. Great overview of what it can do and the speed to get up and running quickly. I used to program with ColdFusion back in the day, but think this will be my go to for now.

AWESOME ... nice how you address all USERS of diff, "skill sets"..this is very important 4 beginners who may feel overwhelmed.

I'm a long time Jekyll user but I've kept my eye on Hugo. Might take some time to learn it.

Thanks for the video. I always wanted to create a personal blog website but don't know web programming. So I will stick with hugo from now on.

I have actually been building some pretty good websites with sveltekit, HUGO and web components. Getting static site performance but with dynamic elements and being visible to search engines and bots.

Is there a way to push changes only to the server? or, do you need to do a build and upload the entire website each time you make a change?

[GreyStreet]

Wonder how responsive this one is. Very very interesting. Ima do this on the weekend.

I just build a site with Hugo, it’s so easy and it’s a lot easier than I through

It would be cool to see ghost vs hugo vs ghost shootout of the blog servers!

Why did you give up on using HUGO? It's been nearly a year since this video and your website is still on wordpress. By the way you still have the sample page link in the navigation bar.

Once i build a site and uloaded the contents of PUBLIC to my site, what is the process for creating new post. Should i re-upload all the contents in public folder agian? Or only one new markdown file can only be uploaded?

[majorgear]

A year later, I'm trying out Hugo. I already noticed that there isn't a config.toml file. They must have removed that from the default installation. It looks like the theme installation and other details have changed as well.

Thank you for your time and expertise, a great video!

[kuldeepgehlot]

Great stuff 😀. Also could you let me know which Linux distro is this? It looks pretty cool ☺️want to shift from windows to Linux

[hamedsaeednia]

is Hugo good captivity with language like Arabic or Persian?

[evandromatt]

Can I offer this to my clients? I don't like working with Wordpress...

[kozlo]

When I try to add the theme, I get an error:

'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

what should I do?

If you're building such a simple blog, why did you use wordpress in the first place?
