Our blog is a few steps away from being ready to see the world¹.

1. Configure the site

   diff --git a/site/hugo.toml b/site/hugo.toml
   index 4dba0ec..7d59855 100644
   --- a/site/hugo.toml
   +++ b/site/hugo.toml

   -title = 'My New Hugo Site'
   +title = 'Blog'
   
    [module]
      replacements = 'github.com/imomaliev/blog/theme -> ../../theme'
   

2. Follow all the steps in the Host on GitHub Pages guide.

3. Update workflow to build in and publish from site directory.

   diff --git a/.github/workflows/hugo.yaml b/.github/workflows/hugo.yaml
   index 20e1d20..d8cc26d 100644

4. Configure a custom domain apex domain.

   We are going to publish our site via GitHub Actions, so we can skip setting CNAME in step 4. And on step 5 we will set AAAA records.

5. Verify the domain with GitHub.

6. And we are live!
