We welcome all contributions. If you want to contribute, all that is needed is simply fork Hugo, make changes and submit a pull request. If you prefer, pick something from the roadmap or contact spf13 about what may make sense to do next.

Overview

1. Fork it from https://github.com/spf13/hugo
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Clone locally (for contributors):

git clone https://github.com/spf13/hugo
cd hugo
go get

Because go expects all of your libraries to be found in either $GOROOT or $GOPATH, it's helpful to symlink the project to one of the following paths:

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

Running Hugo

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

Building Hugo

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