Hugo provides the functionality to quickly get a site, theme or page
|
|
started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## New Site
|
|
|
|
Want to get a site built quickly?
|
|
|
|
hugo new site /path/to/site
|
|
|
|
Hugo will create all the needed directories and files to get started
|
|
quickly.
|
|
|
|
Hugo will only touch the files and create the directories (in the right
|
|
places), [configuration](/overview/configuration) and content are up to
|
|
you... but luckily we have builders for content (see below).
|
|
|
|
## New Theme
|
|
|
|
Want to design a new theme?
|
|
|
|
hugo new theme `THEME_NAME`
|
|
|
|
Run from your working directory, this will create a new theme with all
|
|
the needed files in your themes directory. Hugo will provide you with a
|
|
license and theme.toml file with most of the work done for you.
|
|
|
|
Follow the [Theme Creation Guide](/themes/creation) once the builder is
|
|
done.
|
|
|
|
## New Content
|
|
|
|
You will use this builder the most of all. Every time you want to create
|
|
a new piece of content, the content builder will get you started right.
|
|
|
|
Leveraging [content archetypes](/content/archetypes) the content builder
|
|
will not only insert the current date and appropriate metadata, but it
|
|
will pre-populate values based on the content type.
|
|
|
|
hugo new relative/path/to/content
|
|
|
|
This assumes it is being run from your working directory and the content
|
|
path starts from your content directory.
|
|
|
|
I typically keep two different terminals open, one to run `hugo server
|
|
--watch`, and another to use the builders to create new content.
