How to publish your blog to your server

Continuing the discussion from How to upload my hugo blog from localhost to my server?: This is a common question - I’ve built my site locally, now what? There are a few different workflows for Hugo.

I need this topic be closed immediately.

@tahmoores Note for the future that you can also set your baseURL from the command line, in case you need that flexibility before publishing to this or that server.
