From Jekyll to Hugo: my experience as a noob in web development

&gt; So, I decided to create a redirect on Nginx for each old URL, pointing to the new one. It was quite frustrating to write all those redirects…<p>You can use a regular expression to write a single redirect for all the posts. Something like the following could do the trick:<p><pre><code> location ~ ^&#x2F;(home|networking|misc|tips)&#x2F;(\d{4})&#x2F;(\d{2})&#x2F;(\d{2})&#x2F;([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)\.html { return 301 https:&#x2F;&#x2F;giuliomagnifico.blog&#x2F;post&#x2F;$2-$3-$4-$5&#x2F;; }</code></pre>

What is &quot;with Hugo you make changes only inside the folder of your current theme, and then by recompiling the site, the changes are “executed” on the folders and files inside the public part of the site&quot; supposed to mean?<p>In both Jekyll and Hugo your templates are separate from your posts.<p>And before switching static site generators because &quot;the structure of the URLs linking to each article is much simpler and more convenient&quot;, maybe read the documentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jekyllrb.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;permalinks&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jekyllrb.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;permalinks&#x2F;</a><p>You can have the exact same URL scheme in Jekyll.
