My problem is the mirroring itself. I don't want, taking your example, /posts/post1 just because post1 is under posts. You can get around this with some SSGs but this doesn't…

Read the project’s introduction
A fast and flexible static site generator built with love by bep, spf13, and friends in Go. Website | Installation | Documentation | Support | Contributing | Mastodon Overview Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, optimized for speed and designed for flexibility. With its advanced templating system and fast asset pipelines, Hugo renders a complete site in seconds, often less. Due to its flexible framework, multilingual support, and powerful taxonomy system, Hugo is widely used to create: Corporate, government, nonprofit, education, news, event, and project sites Documentation sites Image portfolios Landing pages Business, professional, and personal blogs Resumes and CVs Use Hugo's embedded web server during development to instantly see changes to content, structure, behavior, and presentation. Then deploy the site to your host, or push changes to your Git provider for automated builds and deployment. Hugo's fast asset pipelines include: CSS Processing – Bundle, transform, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS. Image processing – Convert, resize, crop, rotate, adjust colors, apply filters, overlay text and images, and extract metadata JavaScript bundling – Transpile TypeScript and JSX to JavaScript, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, and perform SRI hashing. Sass processing – Transpile Sass to CSS, bundle, tree shake, minify, create source maps, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS Tailwind CSS processing – Compile Tailwind CSS utility classes into standard CSS, bundle, tree shake, optimize, minify, perform SRI hashing, and integrate with PostCSS And with Hugo Modules, you can share content, assets, data, translations, themes, templates, and configuration with other projects via public or private Git repositories. See the features section of the documentation for a comprehensive summary of Hugo's capabilities. Sponsors       Editions Hugo is available in two editions. Use the standard edition unless you need additional features. Feature standard deploy Core features ✔️ ✔️ Direct cloud deployment (1) ❌ ✔️ (1) Deploy your site directly to a Google Cloud Storage bucket, an AWS S3 bucket, or an Azure Storage container.

What Hacker News says

When you 'go get github.com/spf13/hugo', it checks out a copy into $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo. It then fetches all the external dependencies listed in hugo's source and fetches them, so you'll get $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/howeyc/fsnotify etc. Those exist in your own local tree, but if howeyc deletes his repository and somebody new tries to check out hugo, he'll get an error when "go get" fails to find bitbucket.org/howeyc/fsnotify. Now, what you as the developer can do, as I mentioned in my original post, is get all the packages you need and put them in a $GOPATH directory, so you have $GOPATH/src/hugo and $GOPATH/src/fsnotify etc., then check in the entire $GOPATH directory. Your code then imports "fsnotify" rather than "bitbucket.org/howeyc/fsnotify" and so on. This repository is no longer trivially fetchable+compileable with "g

o get", but in my opinion that's a small price to pay--and compilation is still very simple.
