How I Built This Blog

Why Hugo + GitHub Pages?

Hey 👋
If you’re reading this, my blog actually works — which still feels a little unreal.

I wanted my first post to document exactly how I built this site. Not just the idea, but the actual commands, mistakes, and workflow that got everything live.

This is the post I wish I had when I started.

I wanted a setup that was:

• 💸 Free
• ⚡ Fast
• 🧠 Simple
• 📝 Markdown-based
• 🔄 Fully version controlled
• 🗄️ No database to maintain

Hugo and GitHub Pages checked every box.
