I wanted to put together some notes on how to set up a Github Pages blog using the Hugo static pages publishing application as when I went through this process myself, I found it less than intuitive.

Intro

Stemming from my interest in Assembly Language, I was in search of a practical example to start exploring this subterranean wilderland. I thought I’d write a simple ASM application to compute Fibonacci to a given number of iterations.
