Hugo

A Fast and Flexible Static Site Generator built with love by spf13 and friends in Go.

Build Status wercker status Build status

Overview

Hugo is a static site generator written in Go. It is optimized for speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.

Hugo relies on Markdown files with front matter for meta data. And you can run Hugo from any directory. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don't have a privileged account.

Hugo renders a typical website of moderate size in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that each piece of content renders in around 1 millisecond.

Hugo is meant to work well for any kind of website including blogs, tumbles and docs.

Supported Architectures

Currently Hugo exists for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X for x64 and i386 architectures.

Complete documentation is available at Hugo Documentation.

Choose How to Install

If you want to use Hugo as your site generator, simply install the Hugo binaries. The Hugo binaries have no external dependencies.

To contribute to the Hugo source code or documentation, you should fork the Hugo GitHub project and clone it to your local machine.

Finally, you can install the Hugo source code with go, build the binaries yourself, and run Hugo that way. Building the binaries is an easy task for an experienced go getter.

Install Hugo as Your Site Generator (Binary Install)

Use the installation instructions in the Hugo documentation.

Clone the Hugo Project (Contributor)

  1. Make sure your local environment has the following software installed:

    • Git
    • Go 1.3+ (Go 1.4+ on Windows, see Go Issue #8090)
    • Mercurial
    • Bazaar
  2. Fork the Hugo project on Github.

  3. Clone your fork.

    git clone https://github.com/YOURNAME/hugo

  4. Change into the hugo directory.

    cd hugo

  5. Install the Hugo projects package dependencies.

    go get

  6. Use a symbolic link to add Hugo to your $GOPATH.

    ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo

    Go expects all of your libraries to be found in$GOPATH.

Build and Install the Binaries from Source (Advanced Install)

Add Hugo and its package dependencies to your go src directory.

go get -v github.com/spf13/hugo

Once the get completes, you should find your new hugo (or hugo.exe) executable sitting inside $GOPATH/bin/.

To update Hugos dependencies, use go get with the -u option.

go get -u -v github.com/spf13/hugo

Contributing Code

Contributors should build Hugo and test their changes before submitting a code change.

Building Hugo with Your Changes

cd /path/to/hugo
go build -o hugo main.go
mv hugo /usr/local/bin/

Adding compile information to Hugo

When Hugo is built using the above steps, the version sub-command will include the mdate of the Hugo executable, similar to the following:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV buildDate: 2014-12-24T04:46:03-07:00

Instead, it is possible to have the version sub-command return information about the git commit used and time of compilation using build flags.

To do this, replace the go build command with the following (replace /path/to/hugo with the actual path):

go build -ldflags "-X /path/to/hugo/hugolib.CommitHash `git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null` -X github.com/spf13/hugo/hugolib.BuildDate `date +%FT%T%z`"

This will result in hugo version output that looks similar to:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV-8042E77 buildDate: 2014-12-25T03:25:57-07:00

The format of the date is configurable via the Params.DateFormat setting. DateFormat is a string value representing the Go time layout that should be used to format the date output. If Params.DateFormat is not set, time.RFC3339 will be used as the default format. See Go's "time" package documentation for more information.

Configuration setting using config.yaml as example:

Params:
   DateFormat: "2006-01-02"

Will result in:

Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV buildDate: 2014-10-16
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.13-DEV-24BBFE7 buildDate: 2014-10-16

Running Hugo

cd /path/to/hugo
go install github.com/spf13/hugo/hugolib
go run main.go

Contribution Guidelines

We welcome your contributions. To make the process as seamless as possible, we ask for the following:

  • Go ahead and fork the project and make your changes. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.
  • When you're ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
    • Have test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
    • Run go fmt
    • Squash your commits into a single commit. git rebase -i. It's okay to force update your pull request. * Make sure go test ./... passes, and go build completes. Our Travis CI loop will catch most things that are missing. The exception: Windows. We run on Windows from time to time, but if you have access, please check on a Windows machine too.

Complete documentation is available at Hugo Documentation.
