hugo: A static site generator written in Go, optimized for speed and designed for flexibility.

What problem it solves

Website projects need a flexible way to generate static sites while supporting multiple content types, languages, templates, and deployment workflows. Hugo addresses these needs with a Go-based framework that combines templating, asset processing, a development server, and options for hosting or automated deployment.

Key features

  • Flexible site generation — Hugo supports sites ranging from documentation and landing pages to portfolios, blogs, resumes, and project sites.

    Source: README

  • Integrated asset pipelines — Built-in pipelines process CSS, images, JavaScript, Sass, and Tailwind CSS, including bundling, transformation, minification, source maps, and integrity hashing.

    Source: README

  • Live development workflow — An embedded web server reflects changes to content, structure, behavior, and presentation during development.

  • Shareable project components — Hugo Modules can share content, assets, data, translations, themes, templates, and configuration through public or private Git repositories.

    Source: README, modules

  • Flexible deployment options — Sites can be deployed to a host, built through a Git provider, or sent directly to supported cloud storage with the deploy edition.
