I am using hugo to publish my static site.

As simple as expected!

I followed these steps, with more information from the starting info page.

And I decided to go with the Mainroad theme. Installed with

git submodule add https://github.com/Vimux/Mainroad.git themes/mainroad

Using Porkbun as my host, and they have a static hosting option that pulls directly from my git repo.

Not as simple as expected!

I realized that the setup that I wanted was not a 100% match, as I wanted to have everything in git, so I fiddled a bit and ended up with the following scenario:

• A private git repo that hosts all the data that is used to create the site
• Used hugo to create the NoviceHusband site in the private local repo
• Changed the configuration so that hugo publishes to the local public NoviceHusband repo

And it works!

The site is up! There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but at least there is something.
