Are there any walkthroughs from zero to all done of best practices to setup a product website using a static generator (Jekyll, Hugo, or whatever) rather than a blog?
I started looking at the Hugo "quick start"[1], but then apparently the right way to work things as branches for GitHub pages is more choices[2]. Grabbing a theme that was optimized for more of a product page than a blog led to another warning[3] that the normal documentation wasn't going to be helpful. After that, I decided it would be best to ask for help!

"There are a few concepts this theme employs to make a personal documentation site.
It’s important to read this as you may not see what you expect upon launching."
- m3adow 9y agoI'd recommend Jekyll for that. It's stable and established for such web sites. I used it for a product Web site years ago and it worked fine. If I remember correctly, there's even a tutorial in their official docs.
