To create your robots.txt as a template, first set the `enableRobotsTXT` value to `true` in your [configuration file][config]. By default, this option generates a robots.txt with the following content, which tells search engines that they are allowed to crawl everything:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
User-agent: *
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Robots.txt Template Lookup Order
|
|
|
|
The [lookup order][lookup] for the `robots.txt` template is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* `/layouts/robots.txt`
|
|
* `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/robots.txt`
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If you do not want Hugo to create a default `robots.txt` or leverage the `robots.txt` template, you can hand code your own and place the file in `static`. Remember that everything in the [static directory](/getting-started/directory-structure/) is copied over as-is when Hugo builds your site.

## Robots.txt Template Example
|
|
|
|
The following is an example `robots.txt` layout:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/robots.txt" download="robots.txt" >}}
|
|
User-agent: *
|
|
|
|
{{range .Pages}}
|
|
Disallow: {{.RelPermalink}}
|
|
{{end}}
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
This template disallows all the pages of the site by creating one `Disallow` entry for each page.
