GitHub provides free and fast static hosting over SSL for personal, organization, or project pages directly from a GitHub repository via its [GitHub Pages service] and automating development workflows and build with [GitHub Actions].
## Assumptions
1. You have Git 2.8 or greater [installed on your machine][installgit].
2. You have a GitHub account. [Signing up][ghsignup] for GitHub is free.
3. You have a ready-to-publish Hugo website or have at least completed the [Quick Start].
## Types of GitHub Pages
There are two types of GitHub Pages:
- User/Organization Pages (`https://<USERNAME|ORGANIZATION>.github.io/`)
- Project Pages (`https://<USERNAME|ORGANIZATION>.github.io/<PROJECT>/`)
Please refer to the [GitHub Pages documentation][ghorgs] to decide which type of site you would like to create as it will determine which of the below methods to use.
## Branches for GitHub Actions
The GitHub Actions used in these instructions pull source content from the `main` branch and then commit the generated content to the `gh-pages` branch. This applies regardless of what type of GitHub Pages you are using. This is a clean setup as your Hugo files are stored in one branch and your generated files are published into a separate branch.
## GitHub User or Organization Pages
As mentioned in the [GitHub Pages documentation][ghorgs], you can host a user/organization page in addition to project pages. Here are the key differences in GitHub Pages websites for Users and Organizations:
1. You must create a repository named `<USERNAME>.github.io` or `<ORGANIZATION>.github.io` to host your pages
2. By default, content from the `main` branch is used to publish GitHub Pages - rather than the `gh-pages` branch which is the default for project sites. However, the GitHub Actions in these instructions publish to the `gh-pages` branch. Therefore, if you are publishing GitHub pages for a user or organization, you will need to change the publishing branch to `gh-pages`. See the instructions later in this document.
## Build Hugo With GitHub Action
GitHub executes your software development workflows. Every time you push your code on the GitHub repository, GitHub Actions will build the site automatically.
Create a file in `.github/workflows/gh-pages.yml` containing the following content (based on [actions-hugo](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/hugo-setup)):
```yml
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- main # Set a branch that will trigger a deployment
pull_request:
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
with:
submodules: true # Fetch Hugo themes (true OR recursive)
fetch-depth: 0 # Fetch all history for .GitInfo and .Lastmod
- name: Setup Hugo
uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
with:
hugo-version: 'latest'
# extended: true
- name: Build
run: hugo --minify
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./public
```
For more advanced settings [actions-hugo](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/hugo-setup) and [actions-gh-pages](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-pages-action).
## GitHub pages setting
By default, the GitHub action pushes the generated content to the `gh-pages` branch. This means GitHub has to serve your `gh-pages` branch as a GitHub Pages branch. You can change this setting by going to Settings > GitHub Pages, and change the source branch to `gh-pages`.
## Change baseURL in config.toml
Don't forget to rename your `baseURL` in `config.toml` with the value `https://<USERNAME>.github.io` for your user repository or `https://<USERNAME>.github.io/<REPOSITORY_NAME>` for a project repository.
Unless this is present in your `config.toml`, your website won't work.
## Use a Custom Domain
If you'd like to use a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site, create a file `static/CNAME`. Your custom domain name should be the only contents inside `CNAME`. Since it's inside `static`, the published site will contain the CNAME file at the root of the published site, which is a requirement of GitHub Pages.
Refer to the [official documentation for custom domains][domains] for further information.

GitHub provides free and fast static hosting over SSL for personal, organization, or project pages directly from a GitHub repository via its GitHub Pages service and automating development workflows and build with GitHub Actions.
## Prerequisites
1. [Create a GitHub account]
2. [Install Git]
3. [Create a Hugo site] and test it locally with `hugo server`.
[Create a GitHub account]: https://github.com/signup
[Install Git]: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
[Create a Hugo site]: http://localhost:1313/getting-started/quick-start/
## Types of sites
There are three types of GitHub Pages sites: project, user, and organization. Project sites are connected to a specific project hosted on GitHub. User and organization sites are connected to a specific account on GitHub.com.

See the [GitHub Pages documentation] to understand the requirements for repository ownership and naming.

## Procedure
Step 1
: Create a GitHub repository.
Step 2
: Push your local repository to GitHub.
Step 3
: Visit your GitHub repository. From the main menu choose **Settings**&nbsp;>&nbsp;**Pages**. In then center of your screen you will see this:
![screen capture](gh-pages-1.png)
{style="max-width: 280px"}
Step 4
: Change the **Source** to `GitHub Actions`. The change is immediate; you do not have to press a Save button.
![screen capture](gh-pages-2.png)
{style="max-width: 280px"}
Step 5
: Create an empty file in your local repository.
```text
.github/workflows/hugo.yaml
```
Step 6
: Copy and paste the YAML below into the file you created. Change the branch name and Hugo version as needed.
{{< code file=".github/workflows/hugo.yaml" >}}
# Sample workflow for building and deploying a Hugo site to GitHub Pages
name: Deploy Hugo site to Pages
on:
# Runs on pushes targeting the default branch

# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
workflow_dispatch:
# Sets permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN to allow deployment to GitHub Pages
permissions:

# Allow one concurrent deployment
concurrency:
group: "pages"
cancel-in-progress: true
# Default to bash
defaults:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
HUGO_VERSION: 0.111.2
steps:
- name: Install Hugo CLI
run: |
wget -O ${{ runner.temp }}/hugo.deb https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_linux-amd64.deb \
&& sudo dpkg -i ${{ runner.temp }}/hugo.deb

- name: Install Node.js dependencies
run: "[[ -f package-lock.json || -f npm-shrinkwrap.json ]] && npm ci || true"
- name: Build with Hugo
env:
# For maximum backward compatibility with Hugo modules
HUGO_ENVIRONMENT: production
HUGO_ENV: production
run: |
hugo \
--gc \
--minify \
--baseURL "${{ steps.pages.outputs.base_url }}/"
- name: Upload artifact
uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1
with:
path: ./public
# Deployment job
deploy:
environment:
name: github-pages
url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: build
steps:
- name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
id: deployment
uses: actions/deploy-pages@v1
{{< /code >}}
Step 7
: Commit the change to your local repository with a commit message of something like "Add workflow", and push to GitHub.
Step 8
: From GitHub's main menu, choose **Actions**. You will see something like this:
![screen capture](gh-pages-3.png)
{style="max-width: 350px"}
Step 9
: When GitHub has finished building and deploying your site, the color of the status indicator will change to green.
![screen capture](gh-pages-4.png)
{style="max-width: 350px"}
Step 10
: Click on the commit message as shown above. You will see this:
![screen capture](gh-pages-5.png)
{style="max-width: 611px"}
Under the deploy step, you will see a link to your live site.
In the future, whenever you push a change from your local repository, GitHub will rebuild your site and deploy the changes.
