HUGO Websites
Why bother with HUGO SSG?
Well, you just write markdown and when you get tired of a theme, you can just change to another HUGO theme and keeping all your data as is, flat files.
Pretty awsome, ah?
Well, I havent mentioned yet that potentially, you dont have to pay for hosting these sites.

FAQ
Deploying HUGO Static Sites
HUGO with Github Pages & CICD
Its very important to know the HUGO Version that makes the theme work.
Like when you are using this sample Github Actions Workflow.
This Hextra Theme, as it is, for example, runs fine with v0.117.0:
hugo v0.117.0-b2f0696cad918fb61420a6aff173eb36662b406e+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-08-07T12:49:48Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
But not with higher versions, like v0.124.
HUGO Shortcodes
Shortcodes for HUGO are like components for Astro.
They help us provide interesting funcitonality to our themes.
If you are using HUGO, embed your images with this shortcode
You can also embed GISTS with this shortcode
Remember that shortcodes are .html
files to be placed at /themes/theme_name/layouts/shortcodes/gist_file.html
Just use it like so in your markdown ,example with the gist:
- First parameter (jalcocert): This is the GitHub username or organization that owns the Gist.
- Second parameter (879fecd6ae9bccaa0175d1c180a032cd): This is the unique Gist ID.
- Third parameter (“RStocks - PayoutRatioEvolution.JPG”): This is the specific file within the Gist that you want to load.
- You can also bring cool charts, thanks to shortcodes

How to add ads.txt
to a HUGO Website 📌
Create an
ads.txt
file in your Hugo project’sstatic
directory. Thestatic
folder in Hugo is where you put any files you want to be copied directly to the root of your build output.Add your content to the
ads.txt
file:
google.com, pub-123456, DIRECT, abcdef123456
Build your Hugo site:
Verify the output by checking the
public
directory (Hugo’s default output folder). You should find theads.txt
file in the root ofpublic
:Deploy your site as usual. The
ads.txt
file should now be available athttps://yourdomain.com/ads.txt
.
This method ensures that ads.txt
is part of your site’s root directory in the final build output, as required by ad networks.
