AboutMe — Personal Website

Personal website built with Hugo and the aboutme-v2-theme. No Node.js required — SCSS is compiled natively by Hugo Pipes.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Hugo Extended v0.163.0 or higher
• Go 1.23+ (for module resolution)

Run locally

git clone https://github.com/lbenicio/lbenicio.github.io.git
cd lbenicio.github.io
hugo server

That's it. No npm install, no node_modules. Hugo handles everything — SCSS compilation, CSS minification, and asset fingerprinting.

⚙️ Configuration

All page content is sourced from front matter, not site config. The hugo.toml only holds global defaults:

[params]
  appMode = "ABOUT_ONLY"       # Render mode
  siteUrl = "https://lbenicio.dev"
  githubHandler = "lbenicio"   # Social defaults (overridable per page)
  linkedinHandler = "leonardo-benicio"
  twitterHandler = "lbenicio_"

🔒 Security

• Class/ID obfuscation: All HTML, CSS, and JS identifiers are deterministically obfuscated post-build.
• PGP encryption: Contact form supports OpenPGP encryption via openpgp.js.
• No external scripts: Only self-hosted assets (except Umami analytics).

🚢 Deployment

Pushes to main trigger the deploy workflow:

1. Install Go + Hugo dependencies
2. Build with Hugo (--minify --environment production)
3. Obfuscate class/id/data-* names
4. Deploy to GitHub Pages

Manual build:

hugo --minify --environment production

📦 Dependencies

Zero Node.js dependencies. The only requirement is Hugo Extended (for SCSS compilation via LibSass).
