Host Hugo website on github-pages

Question

I created a static website using Hugo and I don't know how to host it on github. The documentation on their website didn't help me.

After finishing my website, I created the public folder which contains in theory all the files needed for the website (whith this command : hudo -t hyde-hyde). When I open index.html with chrome I only see the content of my website without the theme. Is it normal ?

Then I moved all the files within the public folder into my gihub repo username.github.io/ , but I can't see any result (I can only see my previous commit which is a simple Hello World).

How should I porceed to generate correctly my website and host it on github ? Thanks.

How to create with HUGO

If you have a problem while creating your site, check this tutorial.

How to Host HUGO website on GitHub (Pages)

Check this LINK where it shows you step by step all the procedures to host HUGO on GitHub, on both User/Organization Pages and on Project Pages.

Check list:

When I open index.html with chrome I only see the content of my website without the theme. Is it normal ?

• I know it might seem a little too obvious, but check the spelling. Sometimes you spend hours trying to find the error and it's just a typo, this case in the theme you wanted to.
• Have you tried another browser? It might not be the case, but checking it will get you out of doubt, also remember to delete the cache just in case.

Then I moved all the files within the public folder into my gihub repo username.github.io/ , but I can't see any result (I can only see my previous commit which is a simple Hello World).

• Do you have a User/Organization Page (syntax: username.github.io) or a Project Page (syntax: username.github.io/project)?

UPDATE 1: Follow the instructions on this video for hosting on GitHub if unclear.
