What it supplies: The README presents Hugo as a fast static site generator for documentation, blogs and portfolios.
Useful for: - Build documentation or marketing sites from Markdown and templates.

First action: - Install a prebuilt binary or package for your operating system.
- Or build from source with go install.
Prerequisites and limits: Building from source needs Git and Go 1.27.0 or later; the deploy edition adds the withdeploy tag.
- Direct cloud deployment needs the deploy edition.
- The README does not state the source licence terms itself.
The README points to the LICENSE file for the source code and names bundled third-party libraries; read both before redistributing.
