How to choose the right static site generator

What this post added

This post introduces and evaluates several static site generators (SSGs) including Hugo, Zola, Jekyll, Hexo, GatsbyJS, and Astro. It provides an evaluation toolkit for choosing an SSG based on use case, languages/frameworks, ecosystem, community, and specialty. It details the 'single binary' approach with Hugo and Zola, and the 'standard approach' with Jekyll and Hexo. It also touches upon more flexible SSGs like GatsbyJS and Astro. The post highlights how these SSGs can be deployed to GitLab Pages, with specific examples and guides for Hugo, Zola, Jekyll, and Hexo.
