Unfortunately you provided a black box and tell it does not work. There are so many points where you could have done something wrong…

please have a look at [Requesting Help](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132/2) especially

It is trivial to do a quick `git clone` on your repo, then run `hugo server` in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.

Here’s my link for the hugo files and I’m hosting the /public in [GitHub - frost4graves/frost4graves.github.io](https://github.com/frost4graves/frost4graves.github.io)

Sorry, for causing the issue, I’m inexperienced.

1. looks like you included PaperMod as a submodule in your “HugoBlog” repository, but you missed to commit the .gitmodules.

2. in your frost4graves repository you deploy your commited public stuff (which is already a full static HTML site) using a Jekyll build workflow.  
use either _Static HTML By GitHub Actions_ or _serve from branch_ in your Gihub Pages settings.

the css is not loaded (error in browser console about an integrity check. Maybe using the _Static HTML By GitHub Actions_ will work, but I’m not sure.

if you do not insist to separate source and target repo the common way to deploy a hugo site would be:

- store your site _sources_ in the [frost4graves.github.io](http://frost4graves.github.io) repo  
make sure to properly handle your theme as submodule
- use a github workflow to build with hugo and publish. See [Host on GitHub Pages](https://gohugo.io/host-and-deploy/host-on-github-pages/#step-6)

Wait, I’m not using a submodule of the theme on my hugo-blog repo. Sir, can you please re-check if I’m missing something?

i cloned

N 4f6d1de [2025-05-30 14:25:34] (origin/main, origin/HEAD) : Clean build

```

now

```auto
N 4311706 [2025-05-30 14:58:35] : Fixed again
N fdb1323 [2025-05-30 14:49:42] : Fixed
N 503ee93 [2025-05-30 14:45:25] : Add PaperMod as regular folder
N 3cf2d83 [2025-05-30 14:40:54] : Clean build
N 195762a [2025-05-30 14:39:49] : Clean build
N 4f6d1de [2025-05-30 14:25:34] : Clean build

```
