How to Create Your Portfolio with Hugo and Deploy It

An in-person workshop where every attendee built their web portfolio with Hugo, the static site generator this very website is made with, and got it published online. The recording is on the YouTube channel (in Spanish).

The steps we followed:

1. What a portfolio is and what is worth showing in it.
2. What Hugo is and why use it for this.
3. Installing Go and Hugo and getting the basics ready.
4. Creating the portfolio project from scratch.
5. Picking a theme and adapting it so it looks like you and not like the theme’s demo.
6. Publishing it on Cloudflare Pages so it has its own address.

Everyone follows along with the speaker, asking questions as they go. By the end, each attendee went home with their portfolio already online.
