Organize files

By default, Hugo searches for Markdown files in the content directory and the structure of this directory determines the final output structure. Here is my proposal:

📦content
┣ 📂docs
┃ ┣ 📂assignments
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂week-01
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📂images-01
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂week-02
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📂images-02
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂week-03
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📂images-03
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂week-xx
┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📂images-xx
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┣ 📂commands
┃ ┃ ┣ 📜abouthextra.md
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┣ 📂finaldiary
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂finalproject
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂images-fd
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┃ ┣ 📜about.md
┃ ┣ 📜studentagreement.md
┃ ┗ 📜_index.md
┗ 📜_index.md

Images

I have decided to organise all the images corresponding to each week in a separate folder.

Layouts

Three layouts for diferent content types:
docs content/docs Structured information
blog content/assigments and content/FinalDiary for publish the work done each week. With listing and detailed article views
default All other directories single-page article view without sidebar

Configuration

Top right menu under is define under the menu.main section in the config file: hugo.yaml

Footer

I must create a file called _i18n/en.yam The footer has been one of the sections that I had the hardest time customising, but in the end I think I managed to do it.
