hugo new site

git init

I started by dogfooding¹ my template repository. It allows me to use terraform to manage GitHub repository declaratively. If you're not familiar with "Infrastructure as Code" I highly recommend giving it a try, the declarative approach to configuration management and resource provisioning makes repetitive tasks so much easier. Also, it already has editorconfig and pre-commit configuration.

After I initialized my blog with terraform and configured git to use created repo as a remote. I am ready to create new Hugo site.

hugo new site

1. Create empty Hugo site
   

   $ hugo new site blog
   

2. Add .gitignore for Hugo

3. Configure pre-commit to validate and format toml and json files.

4. Configure editorconfig for toml and json files.
