GitHub Template: hugo-github-pages-starter

A minimal blog starter where the entire build happens in GitHub Actions. No local Hugo install, no Ruby, no Node. Write markdown, push to main, your site deploys in 30 seconds.

What’s in the box

Hugo + LoveIt theme (pinned as git submodule)
GitHub Actions workflow with SHA-pinned actions
Minimal permissions, no PATs needed
Post archetype with SEO fields (title, slug, date, tags, description)
Custom domain + HTTPS instructions
GoatCounter analytics support (optional)
Page animations disabled, share buttons off, theme toggle hidden

Quick start

 
# Use as template on GitHub, then clone your new repo
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO.git

Enable GitHub Pages (Settings > Pages > Source: “GitHub Actions”), push to main, done.
