Hugo Setup

Hugo is a very well-designed static site generator. The user experience is way better than what I have tried so far. One of the good things about Hugo is that the config file is very clean! Also, the installation is easy, version controlling it is quite simple, and it’s easy to share the source code and let people create post PR!
