sgsharma.github.io

Personal portfolio site built with Hugo using the eternity-alt theme, hosted on GitHub Pages at themightycomma.com.

Local development

Prerequisites: Hugo extended v0.144+ (install)

# Start dev server with live reload
hugo serve -p 1313

# Build site to ./public
hugo --minify

# Build for production with explicit base URL
hugo --gc --minify --baseURL "https://themightycomma.com/"

# Create a new work post
hugo new work/2026/my-post-title.md

Site runs at http://localhost:1313 during local development.

Content structure

content/
  work/          # Portfolio pieces, organized by year
    2026/
      *.md
  about.md
  404.md

Each work post lives under content/work/<year>/<slug>.md. Images go in assets/images/<year>/.

Deployment

Automatic (GitHub Actions)

Pushing to master triggers .github/workflows/hugo.yaml, which:

1. Installs Hugo extended
2. Checks out the repo (with submodules)
3. Builds the site with hugo --gc --minify
4. Uploads the ./public artifact
5. Deploys to GitHub Pages

No manual steps needed — merge to master = live site.

Manual (deploy script)

./deploy.sh

Requires a clean working directory. Builds the site and pushes the output to the gh-pages branch directly.

Config

config.yaml — key settings:

Key	Purpose
baseURL	Production URL
theme	Theme name (eternity-alt)
themesDir	Set to "." so Hugo resolves the theme from the repo root
params.homepage	Landing redirect target (currently /work)
params.bypassWelcomePage	Skips splash page when true
permalinks.work	URL pattern for work posts (:contentbasename/)
