Requirements

Any user who wants to clone this repo and run the test or doc site locally will need to have a recent version of Go installed.

Go isn’t a requirement for ox-hugo or hugo to work in general. But because the test and doc sites use Hugo Modules approach for managing the theme and component dependencies, Go is required for that.
