Creating a Free Blog or Static Content Website with Hugo and GitHub Pages with Custom Domain and Ads

Hi everyone!
Today I am going to show you how to create a free blog using Hugo and GitHub Pages for hosting. A blog is an important tool for developers to share their technical thoughts and contribute to the wider tech community. Hugo can also be used to generate other static content sites such as marketing websites for your projects.
I will also show you how to add Google Ads to your Hugo website and also how to configure a custom subdomain for you Github pages to make it look a little more professional.
You can browse for different hugo themes here:
themes.gohugo.io/
My hugo site repo is available here:
github.com/misscodingnz/blog
My static content github pages repo is available here:

// ABOUT ME
My name is Chelsea and I started studying software engineering in 2010. I have been working commercially full time since 2014 and have been in various positions from graduate developer to tech lead to solution architect.
I'm a full stack developer with a lot of experience in C# and Javascript but my passion is for mobile development; specifically native iOS development and cross platform using React Native.
I always have many things on the go and am always trying out a new side hustle and failing at it; perhaps you can learn from my mistakes!

// PRODUCTS USED
I use the following products in the creation of my videos:

A kit lens but a decent quality lens for beginners getting used to a DSLR
Canon EOS Rebel T7 with 18-55mm Lens - amzn.to/3XZauAL
This is the kit I started with it includes the lens linked above and is a great starter camera.
I love Apple devices... These are the ones I use for my channel content creation:
Apple iPhone 13 - amzn.to/3KAUba4
A good all round phone, good for Apple development and recording videos with enough high quality features but at a cheaper price point than the pro versions.
Apple MacBook Pro - amzn.to/3KxrE5q
A nice portable computer for working from anywhere and perfect for iOS development
Apple iPad Air - amzn.to/3xU2k21

[@MissCoding]

Well done! Hope it serves you well :)

[@benjaminfehr7322]

Thanks for your help. It works very well. Just i cant find out how i can add a new blog without any trouble with the repos. But maybe thats an issue with the talle theme i use.

[@PampaEstudioGuitarra]

Great tutorial! I'm still lost about git (because I'm a noobie) but you really helped me ☺Thanks!

[@KaiBuskirk]

right..... its the little things Please help

[@debeatox1282]

You don't have to use terminal if it's confusing. You can push changes from VScode(3rd tab from the left. It will even show how many changes you did but didn't push/commit to GitHub)

@@debeatox1282 thanks!

[@MohamedMedhat-ic5ng]

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for

[@MissCoding]

Glad it could help!

[@MrAdam100576]

Quick Question: Your blog seems to have all of the relevant folders in Visual Studio. Can I ask how you set that up? Also, this is a newbie question, but I seem to be creating folders/directories all over the place when I try to use both Terminal and VSCode. Should I have folders for EACH github repo or should I be dumping ALL of my repos into one github folder (on my computer)?

[@debeatox1282]

Answer for your 1st question: she does it by running Hugo command @1:40.
For your 2nd one it doesn't matter. It's your computer and you decide where you want to put your folders. Weather it's github repo folder, music folder or documents folder.
Hope this cleared somethings for you! Good luck.
