Tags and categories are taxonomies that are automatically created by Hugo.
I do not understand what the difference is between tags and categories (besides their names). Also, do categories have the same function as organizing website pages in folders?
https://gohugo.io/content-management/taxonomies#configuring-taxonomies
Is a great resource.
But TLDR; their is no significance between categories and tags. They are arbitrary taxonomies.
I could make:
"fizzles: apples"
"fizzles: Bannanas"
and I would have a taxonomy page rendered for all apples and all bannanas.
Note: If you are using a wordpress strict taxonomy hierarchy, you'll be confused.
To address the additional comment: The folder structure under the /content/ folder represents your site hierarchy.
I.e. /content/about-us/our-team/
will literally be:
www.yoursite.com/about-us/our-team/
Taxonomies are a different grouping - i.e. lets say I have a lot of pages, whether blog and main site or both or whatever, and I have "category: drug-rehabilitation" - then those all get categorized together/taxonomy page is created.
Hope that clarifies.
