🛠️ Tools Used

🚀 How to Run Locally

Follow the steps below to run the blog on your machine:

1. Prerequisites

Install the following tools:

• Git → git-scm.com
• Go → golang.org/doc/install
• Hugo Extended (latest version) → gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/

2. Clone the repository with the theme

git clone --recursive https://github.com/olavob/olavob.github.io.git
cd olavob.github.io

The --recursive flag is important to automatically download the theme submodule. If you already cloned without --recursive, run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

To update the theme to its latest version later:

git submodule update --remote themes/hextra

3. Start the development server

hugo server -D

The blog will be available at: http://localhost:1313 The -D flag includes draft posts (draft: true)

Note: Disqus comments don't load during local preview (hugo server) by design — they only render on a real production build.

4. Build for production

hugo

The generated files will be in the public/ folder.
