Hosting your static website generated by HUGO on github page http(s)://<username>.github.io

There are different choices to host a static website on github.
There is one of them that in my point of view is one of the easiest ways.
First we need to create a static website that will be hosted on github pages,Hugo(https://gohugo.io/) is a static site generator that allows you to create a website with little to no code and we are going to use it to build the static web site.
For creating static websites with Hugo:

1. Install Hugo on local
2. Create a github repository($githubrepositoryname) where you are going to upload the info for your github page (where gonna be hosted the blog information)

mkdir $githubblogrepositoryname
cd $githubblogrepositoryname
hugo new site .

Creating and configuring github repo to store the site previously created

cd $githubblogrepositoryname
git init
# git remote add origin https://github.com/ldipotetjob/nomorethanonehundredandsixtysix.git
git remote add origin https://github.com/$repository.username/$githubblogrepositoryname.git
git pull origin master
echo "public/" >> .gitignore
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin master
# git submodule add https://github.com/Track3/hermit.git themes/hermit
git submodule add $git_repository-of-HugoTheme themes/hermit
# getting rid of git submodule(.gitmodules) untracked status
# add => ignore = dirty  to .gitmodules file 

Now let's check if everything went well. Deploy in local

hugo server -D 
####
# ........
# Web Server is available at http://localhost:1313/ (bind address 127.0.0.1)
####

Create the github page.

Remenber it's format:

http(s)://<username>.github.io or http(s)://<organization>.github.io

#clone the repo that contain github page 
git clone https://github.com/<username>/<username>.github.io.git
# move to the directory($githubblogrepositoryname) where your blog info is located
cd $githubblogrepositoryname

How our Hugo static website can be deployed on github page

1. The hugo static site will need a binding to a github url page:
   In theconfig.toml file the key baseURL must have the github url page
   baseURL = http(s)://<username>.github.io
2. Check that you are on $githubblogrepositoryname and then launch: hugo -d ./<username>.github.io/
3. Move to the directory .github.io (directory where have been cloned the github page: http(s)://<username>.github.io)
4. Commit and upload the changes to remote and have fun 👍
