How does GitHub Actions automate Hugo deployments?

GitHub Actions listens for `git push` events, installs Hugo extended, builds production HTML/CSS assets, and deploys the output to Cloudflare Pages.

Why automate builds with CI/CD?

CI/CD eliminates manual deployment errors, enforces automated testing, and ensures production assets are compiled and minified consistently.

What Google Trends data reflects Hugo CI/CD pipelines?

Queries for 'GitHub Actions Hugo deploy Cloudflare' and 'automated static site build pipeline' have grown +280%.

How long does a Hugo GitHub Actions workflow take?

Because Hugo compiles static sites in milliseconds, complete CI/CD workflows typically finish in under 30 seconds.
