## Assumptions
* Working familiarity with Git for version control
* Completion of the Hugo [Quick Start]
* A [GitLab account](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in)
* A Hugo website on your local machine that you are ready to publish
## BaseURL
The `baseURL` in your [site configuration](/getting-started/configuration/) must reflect the full URL of your GitLab pages repository if you are using the default GitLab Pages URL (e.g., `https://<YourUsername>.gitlab.io/<your-hugo-site>/`) and not a custom domain.
## Configure GitLab CI/CD
Define your [CI/CD](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/quick_start/) jobs by creating a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file in the root of your project.
{{< code file=.gitlab-ci.yml copy=true >}}

## Push your Hugo website to GitLab
Next, create a new repository on GitLab. It is *not* necessary to make the repository public. In addition, you might want to add `/public` to your .gitignore file, as there is no need to push compiled assets to GitLab or keep your output website in version control.
```sh
# initialize new git repository
git init
# add /public directory to our .gitignore file
echo "/public" >> .gitignore
# commit and push code to master branch
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/YourUsername/your-hugo-site.git
git push -u origin master
```
## Wait for your page to build
That's it! You can now follow the CI agent building your page at `https://gitlab.com/<YourUsername>/<your-hugo-site>/pipelines`.
After the build has passed, your new website is available at `https://<YourUsername>.gitlab.io/<your-hugo-site>/`.
## Next steps
GitLab supports using custom CNAME's and TLS certificates. For more details on GitLab Pages, see the [GitLab Pages setup documentation](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/07/gitlab-pages-setup/).
