TortoiseGit

TortoiseGit is an easy to use client for the Git distributed revision control system.
Pricing:
- Open Source
To start with I installed Hugo on my Windows 10 laptop (instructions here), I already had Git Bash installed, but it’s easy to install it from here. You may also choose to use a Git GUI tool like Tortoise Git. Next, I created a new Git repository at my GitHub account with the name [my-github-username].github.io containing just a blank README.md file (note that its necessary to name the repo this way, in order to leverage the GitHub pages feature).

Hugo

Hugo is a general-purpose website framework for generating static web pages.

Honestly, you might be coming across umpteenth article on this topic, but I had to jot down my experiments with static website setup. For the uninitiated, apart from being the name of a famous 2011 Martin Scorsese movie, Hugo is also an extremely popular static website generator. Hugo uses data files, configuration, layout templates, static files, and content written in Markdown to render a static website, which means no database, blazing fast site speed and no danger of cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
