Want to create a beautiful blog with Hugo? This guide will walk you through setting up a Hugo site with the Clean White theme from scratch. We’ll be using Hugo modules (the modern approach) instead of Git submodules.
Prerequisites
Before we start, make sure you have:
- Hugo installed
- Git installed
- Go installed (required for Hugo modules)
- A GitHub account
Step 1: Create Your GitHub Repository
First, create a new repository on GitHub for your blog. You can name it something like your-username-hugo-blog. This repository will eventually be used to deploy your blog to Netlify (or GitHub Pages).
