New: How to get up and running quickly using GitLab Pages templates

Jason Yavorska, the product manager for the Release stage at GitLab, introduces a new feature in GitLab 11.8 that allows users to select popular Pages templates directly from the new project setup screen, simplifying the process of setting up a site. This change eliminates the need to fork an existing template, letting users start projects swiftly with bundled options, although the traditional method remains available for other templates. Yavorska, despite being a product manager, contributed to this feature as a hobbyist programmer, finding the coding process straightforward but navigating the review process more challenging. He expresses pride in the collaborative effort and encourages others to contribute to open source projects, offering his support on Twitter for first-time contributors. The post provides a detailed guide on setting up a site using the Hugo template, including necessary edits and pipeline initiation, and offers advice on further customization and resources for enhancing the site with Hugo themes.
