Build

hugo

Builds the project, i.e. creates public folder.

• Delete the public folder before a re-build (otherwise the files you delete while developing will hang around in the public folder).
• Deploy only the public folder.

This is the simplest way to build a project. Then you “copy/paste” the “public” folder with static files that Hugo generated to your hosting provider of choice.

If you want a more sophisticated approach - continuous integration with git, see the next section Deploy.
