{{% note %}}
|
|
Hugo's Git integrations should be fairly performant but *can* increase your build time. This will depend on the size of your Git history.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## `.GitInfo` prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory.
|
|
2. The Git executable must be installed and in your system `PATH`.
|
|
3. The `.GitInfo` feature must be enabled in your Hugo project by passing `--enableGitInfo` flag on the command line or by setting `enableGitInfo` to `true` in your [site's configuration file][configuration].
|
|
|
|
## The `.GitInfo` object
|
|
|
|
The `GitInfo` object contains the following fields:
|
|
|
|
.AbbreviatedHash
|
|
: the abbreviated commit hash (e.g., `866cbcc`)
|
|
|
|
.AuthorName
|
|
: the author's name, respecting [`.mailmap`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap)
|
|
|
|
.AuthorEmail
|
|
: the author's email address, respecting [`.mailmap`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap)
|
|
|
|
.AuthorDate
|
|
: the author date
|
|
|
|
.Hash
|
|
: the commit hash (e.g., `866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3`)
|
|
|
|
.Subject
|
|
: commit message subject (e.g., `tpl: Add custom index function`)
|
|
|
|
## `.Lastmod`
|
|
|
|
If the `.GitInfo` feature is enabled, `.Lastmod` (on `Page`) is fetched from Git i.e. `.GitInfo.AuthorDate`. This behavior can be changed by adding your own [front matter configuration for dates](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-front-matter).
|
|
|
|
[configuration]: /getting-started/configuration/
|
|
|
|
## Hosting considerations
|
|
|
|
On the site host, your repository must be "deep-cloned," so the returned `.GitInfo` data will be accurate. Otherwise, your site may display only data from your latest commit. Where it's not possible to configure a host's cloning depth, you must handle this through CI/CD (*e.g.*, a GitHub Action or GitLab CI/CD). See the following table:
|
|
|
|
| Hosting service | Clone depth | Configurable? |
|
|
| :-------------- | :---------- | :-----------: |
|
|
| Cloudflare Pages | Shallow | ✔️ [^CFP] |
|
|
| DigitalOcean App Platform | Deep | ❌ |
|
|
| GitHub Pages | Shallow | ✔️ [^GHP] |
|
|
| GitLab Pages | Shallow | ✔️ [^GLP] |
|
|
| Netlify | Deep | ❌ |
|
|
| Render | Shallow | ❌ |
|
|
| Vercel | Shallow | ❌ |
|
|
|
|
[^CFP]: To configure a Cloudflare Pages site for deep cloning, preface the site's normal Hugo build command with `git fetch --unshallow &&` (*e.g.*, `git fetch --unshallow && hugo`).
|
|
|
|
[^GHP]: You can configure the GitHub Action to do a deep clone by specifying `fetch-depth: 0` in the applicable "checkout" step of your workflow file, as shown in the Hugo documentation's [example workflow file](/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/#procedure).
|
|
|
|
[^GLP]: You can configure the GitLab Runner's clone depth [as explained in the GitLab documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/large_repositories/#shallow-cloning); see also the Hugo documentation's [example workflow file](https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-gitlab/#configure-gitlab-cicd).
