+## Assumptions
+
+1. You have an account with [Firebase][signup]; you can sign up for free using your Google account.
+2. You have completed the [Quick Start][] or have a completed Hugo website ready for deployment.
+
+## Initial setup
+
+Go to the [Firebase console][console] and create a new project (unless you already have a project). You will need to globally install `firebase-tools` (node.js):
+
+```sh
+npm install -g firebase-tools
+```
+
+Log in to Firebase (setup on your local machine) using `firebase login`, which opens a browser where you can select your account. Use `firebase logout` in case you are already logged in but to the wrong account.
+
+```sh
+firebase login
+```
+
+In the root of your Hugo project, initialize the Firebase project with the `firebase init` command:
+
+```sh
+firebase init
+```
+
+From here:
+
+1. Choose Hosting in the feature question
+2. Choose the project you just set up
+3. Accept the default for your database rules file
+4. Accept the default for the publish directory, which is `public`
+5. Choose "No" in the question if you are deploying a single-page app
+
+## Deploy
+
+To deploy your Hugo site, execute the `firebase deploy` command, and your site will be up in no time:
+
+```sh
+hugo && firebase deploy
+```
+
+## CI Setup
+
+You can generate a deploy token using
+
+```sh
+firebase login:ci
+```
+
+You can also set up your CI (e.g., with [Wercker][]) and add the token to a private variable like `$FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN`.
+
+{{% note %}}
+This is a private secret and it should not appear in a public repository. Make sure you understand your chosen CI and that it's not visible to others.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+You can then add a step in your build to do the deployment using the token:
+
+```sh
+firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN
+```
