๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Site structure

There are 4 main folders for Hugo-based sites:

  • content/ for your Markdown-formatted content files (homepage, etc.)
    • _index.md the homepage (Hugo requires that the homepage and archive pages have an underscore prefix)
  • assets/
    • media/ for your media files (images, videos)
      • icons/ upload any custom SVG icons you want to use
  • config/_default/ for your site configuration files
    • hugo.yaml to configure Hugo (site title, URL, Hugo options, setup per-folder page features)
    • module.yaml to install or uninstall Hugo themes and plugins
    • params.yaml to configure Hugo Blox options (SEO, analytics, site features)
    • menus.yaml to configure your menu links (if the menu is enabled in params.yaml)
    • languages.yaml to configure your siteโ€™s language or to set language-specific options in a multilingual site
  • static/uploads/ for any files you want visitors to download, such as a PDF of your resume
