## Prerequisites
Please complete the following tasks before continuing:
1. [Create an AWS account]
1. [Install Git]
1. [Create a Hugo site] and test it locally with `hugo server`
1. Commit the changes to your local repository
1. Push the local repository to your [GitHub], [GitLab], or [Bitbucket] account
[Bitbucket]: https://bitbucket.org/product
[Create a Hugo site]: /getting-started/quick-start/
[Create an AWS account]: https://aws.amazon.com/resources/create-account/
[GitHub]: https://github.com
[GitLab]: https://about.gitlab.com/
[Install Git]: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
## Procedure
This procedure will enable continuous deployment from a GitHub repository. The procedure is essentially the same if you are using GitLab or Bitbucket.
### Step 1
Create a file named `amplify.yml` in the root of your project.
```sh
touch amplify.yml
```
### Step 2
Copy and paste the YAML below into the file you created. Change the application versions and time zone as needed.
```yaml {file="amplify.yml" copy=true}
version: 1
env:
variables:
# Application versions
DART_SASS_VERSION: 1.89.2
GO_VERSION: 1.24.2
HUGO_VERSION: 0.147.9
# Time zone
TZ: America/Los_Angeles
# Cache
HUGO_CACHEDIR: ${PWD}/.hugo
NPM_CONFIG_CACHE: ${PWD}/.npm

commands:
# Install Dart Sass
- curl -LJO https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/${DART_SASS_VERSION}/dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
- sudo tar -C /usr/local/bin -xf dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
- rm dart-sass-${DART_SASS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
- export PATH=/usr/local/bin/dart-sass:$PATH
# Install Go
- curl -LJO https://go.dev/dl/go${GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- sudo tar -C /usr/local -xf go${GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- rm go${GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
# Install Hugo
- curl -LJO https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.tar.gz
- sudo tar -C /usr/local/bin -xf hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.tar.gz
- rm hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.tar.gz
- export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# Check installed versions
- go version
- hugo version
- node -v
- npm -v
- sass --embedded --version
# Install Node.JS dependencies
- "[[ -f package-lock.json || -f npm-shrinkwrap.json ]] && npm ci --prefer-offline || true"
# https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/9810
- git config --add core.quotepath false
build:
commands:
- hugo --gc --minify
artifacts:
baseDirectory: public
files:
- '**/*'

- ${NPM_CONFIG_CACHE}/**/*
```
### Step 3
Commit and push the change to your GitHub repository.
```sh
git add -A
git commit -m "Create amplify.yml"
git push
```
### Step 4
Log in to your AWS account, navigate to the [Amplify Console], then press the **Deploy an app** button.
[Amplify Console]: https://console.aws.amazon.com/amplify/apps

### Step 10
On the "App settings" page, scroll to the bottom then press the **Next** button. Amplify reads the `amplify.yml` file you created in Steps 1-3 instead of using the values on this page.
### Step 11
On the "Review" page, scroll to the bottom then press the **Save and deploy** button.
### Step 12
When your site has finished deploying, press the **Visit deployed URL** button to view your published site.
