Step One: Give HUGO the hugo new command

hugo new site my-great-site

This creates a new folder with the basic skeleton for your site in whatever directory you call it in.

Step Two: Add a Theme

cd my-great-site/themes

git clone https://github.com/spf13/hyde

https://themes.gohugo.io

Step Four: Site Configuration

baseURL = "https://mygreatsite.org/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "My Great Site"
theme = "hyde"

Inside of config.toml...

Step Three: Add some content

hugo new post/my-first-post.md

Step Five: Start up the HUGO server

hugo server -D

Default server location: localhost:1313

You now have a local copy of your site with auto-reload out of the box. The -D flag makes sure that drafts are rendered.
