How to create, build & deploy a static website for free using DigitalOcean App Platform and Hugo

Hi! Welcome to my blog. This is my first post so please be kind and I’ll explain how I have built and published my blog! And the best part; it did not cost me anything. I managed to do this for free. The post covers the following subjects: Static website generators (Gatsby, Hugo and Jekyll), Git (with submodules) in combination with GitHub, Automation, Writing Markdown, Hosting (DigitalOcean), DNS and Personal growth.
