• Hugo (extended version) builds the website from the content files and governs the file organization, naming, front matter, and some of the shortcode syntax.
• The custom GeekDocs theme provides a bare-bones theme with templates and shortcodes for styling the website and content.
• Specific .css customizations are added on top of GeekDocs in the /static/custom.css, /data/menu/, and /layouts/ files
