New user: Please document how to create a Hugo site from a HTML site #5237

Closed mariusa closed 5 years ago

mariusa commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to understand how Hugo works, in order to move from Jekyll.

Would you please document the exact steps required to migrate a HTML static site, such as this https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/business-casual/ to Hugo?

I'm assuming by creating a new Theme https://gohugo.io/themes/creating/ but what next?

Thanks

Hi @mariusa ,

I think this question is better suited for the Forum at https://discourse.gohugo.io/

The GitHub Issue tracker is for issues with hugo only, in the Forum however people should be able to help you.

To give you a headstart: The Creating documentation as well as https://gohugo.io/templates/ is a good starting point. If you want to use the linked theme with Hugo you have to convert it. That means you must look at all the template files (html files) and remove the Jekyll functions with Hugo functions.

All the best, Kevin
