Reboot using Hugo

Overview

Will take awhile to rebuild my website as my plan is not to have all the same posts that I had before.

Setup

Still will use GitHub pages except I am using GitHub Actions to build these pages. Using Hugo and since I use Ubuntu, just using the offical snap. I am initially using Hextra theme as it supports light and dark modes. I just blew out my old git repository that I used Pelican since I had a pelican branch that had the source code and master which the static HTML pages resided.

Initial Structure

Will keep it simple and have the following pages:

• Posts
• About page
• Resume
• Resources
• Search

Next Steps

I will like to add the ability to search and will slowly add some of my previous articles/posts. I still need to learn how to do things in Hugo but I don’t think it is going to be too difficult.

Update: I added some more to the initial structure since it was only a few days since this post. Also I plan on creating some requirements on how I would like to to interact with my website, the purpose, etc. Finally I would like to document what it took to set it up so that I won’t have the problem like I did with Pelican.
