From the README
A fast and flexible static site generator built with love by bep, spf13, and friends in Go.
Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, optimized for speed and designed for flexibility. With its advanced templating system and fast asset pipelines, Hugo renders a complete site in seconds, often less.
Due to its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system, Hugo is widely used to create:
Use Hugo's embedded web server during development to instantly see changes to content, structure, behavior, and presentation. Then deploy the site to your host, or push changes to your Git provider for automated builds and deployment.
And with Hugo Modules, you can share content, assets, data, translations, themes, templates, and configuration with other projects via public or private Git repositories.
See the features section of the documentation for a comprehensive summary of Hugo's capabilities.
