I am a noob.
I found a template that I liked so I made some changes in the hugo file. All the fixing were going well until I try to add the “categories” page.
Then the deployment failed. So I deleted what I did and re-deploy it again. It still failed.
Below is my site and the github repo.
I try to read the errors, but I don’t understand. All I did was adding a html file and then it crashed.

It looks like the site broke after you tried to add a custom “categories” page. Even after deleting the file, the deployment still fails — this is likely because some leftover changes or misconfigurations are still affecting the build. Most often with Hugo and Netlify, this happens when there’s a mismatch in Hugo versions, a mistake in the config.toml, or a wrong file in the layouts folder. Make sure your config.toml includes [taxonomies] category = "categories", and check that you’re using the same Hugo version locally and on Netlify (you can set this in a netlify.toml file). Also, try running hugo server on your machine to catch errors before deploying. If you want, I can look directly at the repo and guide you line by line.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my issue. I appreciate it.
I did add categories to taxonomies, but it didn’t work out. I will redo it again and see if I am successful.
