  ah, i didn't see a mention of hugo before in this thread

$ hugo serve

  will do it...

  i make sure to cd into the production directory first before
running that command or any other hugo command as you can get
odd bits of stuff showing up in your directories otherwise.

  yes.  it's pretty common in almost any web site development
environment to have some kind of way to do this locally.  also
to test deployment from one place to another it is a good idea
to have a separate service (even if it is simple) just to make
sure you're getting things moved to where you want them to be.
