hugo

brew install hugo v0.163.3 Apache-2.0

Go-based static site generator with templates and Markdown support, optimized for speed.

Why you might care

Hugo is exceptionally fast at building large sites and comes with a built-in dev server, making it ideal for blogs, documentation, and project sites. Use it when you want a single binary that doesn't require a runtime, unlike Jekyll (Ruby) or Gatsby (Node.js). Great for content-driven workflows where you write Markdown and version-control your entire site.
