Hosting the site

There are many ways to deploy the resulting site.

I gave a try to Netlify as that method offers continuous integration. I followed Hugo's documentation about Hosting on Netlify, and used hugo -D as the command to build the site, and public as the publish directory:

Then, all I had to do was to change the site domain to https://my-first-steps-with-hugo.netlify.com/

Then I realized that the rendering of the website on Netlify was not exactly matching the one I was seeing locally. Thus I fixed the version of Hugo used by Netlify with a netlify.toml file with the following content:

[context.production.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.62.2"
