The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the
|
|
configuration for a site. In fact a config file isn't even needed for many
|
|
websites since the defaults follow commonly used patterns.
|
|
|
|
Hugo expects to find the config file in the root of the source directory and
|
|
will look there first for a `config.toml` file. If none is present it will
|
|
then look for a `config.yaml` file, followed by a `config.json` file.
|
|
|
|
The config file is a site-wide config. The config file provides directions to
|
|
hugo on how to build the site as well as site-wide parameters and menus.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of a typical yaml config file:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of a toml config file with some of the default values:
|
|
|
|
contentdir = "content"
|
|
layoutdir = "layouts"
|
|
publishdir = "public"
|
|
builddrafts = false
|
|
baseurl = "http://yoursite.example.com/"
|
|
canonifyurls = true
|
|
[indexes]
|
|
category = "categories"
|
|
tag = "tags"
|
|
|
|
Here is a yaml configuration file which sets a few more options
