# gohugoio/hugo

> Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, built for creating sites such as blogs, documentation sites, image portfolios, landing pages and resumes. It takes content and templates and renders them into a complete site of static files. Its main language is Go, and it also includes asset pipelines for CSS, Sass, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS and images.

## How it works

Input enters through the command layer, where commands/server.go is an entry point that starts the embedded web server used during development. hugolib/site.go holds the central site-building code that reads content and configuration and assembles the pages. The tpl directory contains the templating system that turns those pages into HTML using templates. The resources directory handles asset processing, including image handling such as resources/images/config.go, which covers conversion and other image operations. The markup directory contains code for content markup formats, and the output of the build is the static site files.
