+## Introduction
 
 Test
 
 Test in codespaces number 2
+
+## TLDR
+
+Just clone my basic-hugo-github-blog and modify to your own personal preferences
+
+## Step by Step guide
+
+### Github
+
+To start, you'll of course need your own [Github account](https://github.com/signup). To utilize your accounts own .github.io domain to host and display your Hugo site you will need to create a new public repository called **username**.github.io 
+
+For example on my commitconfirmed username, I needed to use [commitconfirmed.github.io](https://github.com/commitconfirmed/commitconfirmed.github.io)
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+Now, using your development environment of choice clone your newly created repository and create a "site" directory, which is where we will be building our Hugo site. Also create a .gitignore file with the below content (which will be used later on to ignore some of the files that are automatically created from going into your repo)
+
+```bash
+# Hugo gitignores
+/site/resources/
+/site/public/
+/site/themes/
+.hugo_build.lock
+```
