Here I’m using Hugo theme called GoKarna but you can pretty much do this with any Hugo theme.

HUGO Setup

*if your don’t have the shortcodes directory, you can make one.

{{.Inner}}

Utterances Setup

Add utterances to your github repository from github.com/apps/utterances

then get your HTML code from utteranc.es

Add comments

Now add the raw html tag followed by your HTML code from utteranc.es and end it with closing html tag.

It will look something like this:
