My First Blog Post

Inspired by networkchuck.

I did my blog site by running in Windows 11 using Obsidian, Hugo, Github and Hostinger.

Install Go Lang

Install Hugo on Windows See documentation at https://gohugo.io/.

Use Winget Winget is Microsoft’s official free and open-source package manager for Windows. To install the extended edition of Hugo:

winget install Hugo.Hugo.Extended

To uninstall the extended edition of Hugo:

winget uninstall --name "Hugo (Extended)"

Create a new site

## Verify Hugo works
hugo version

## Create a new site 

hugo new site websitename
cd websitename

Download a Hugo Theme

Select your theme here https://themes.gohugo.io/.

Initialize your local git repo

## Initialize a git repository (Make sure you are in your Hugo website directory)

git init

## Set global username and email parameters for git

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"


## Install a theme (we are installing the Terminal theme here). Once downloaded it should be in your Hugo themes folder
## Find a theme ---> https://themes.gohugo.io/

git submodule add -f https://github.com/nanxiaobei/hugo-paper.git themes/hugo-paper

Setup GitHub

• Git yourself an account
• Then create a repo

Authenticate yourself

## Generate an SSH key (Mac/Linux/Windows)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

Push to GitHub

# Step 8: Push the public folder to the hostinger branch using subtree split and force push
echo "Deploying to GitHub Hostinger..."
git subtree split --prefix public -b hostinger-deploy
git push origin hostinger-deploy:hostinger --force
git branch -D hostinger-deploy
