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 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 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 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.
