[GitLab](https://gitlab.com/) makes it incredibly easy to build, deploy, and host your Hugo website via their free GitLab Pages service, which provides [native support for Hugo, as well as numerous other static site generators](https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo).
## 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
## Create .gitlab-ci.yml
```
cd your-hugo-site
```
In the root directory of your Hugo site, create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. The `.gitlab-ci.yml` configures the GitLab CI on how to build your page. Simply add the content below.

## 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.
```
# 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>/`.
{{% note %}}
Make sure your `baseURL` key-value in your [site configuration](/getting-started/configuration/) reflects the full URL of your GitLab pages repository if you're using the default GitLab Pages URL (e.g., `https://<YourUsername>.gitlab.io/<your-hugo-site>/`) and not a custom domain.

## 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/).
