Hello, I’m new on hugo and just created a website but I feel lost now because I just don’t get it how should I put it on my server. Where should be the index.html file? What other files should I add? Thanks in advance.

Everything in the public/ folder should be copied up to your server.

If you run hugo without the --server option, it will create the file public/index.html. See the example on http://gohugo.io/overview/usage/
