Hugo Modules are the core building blocks in Hugo. A module can be your main project or a smaller module providing one or more of the 7 component types defined in Hugo: static, content, layouts, data, assets, i18n, and archetypes.

You can combine modules in any combination you like, and even mount directories from non-Hugo projects, forming a big, virtual union file system.
