All contributions to Hugo are welcome. Whether you want to scratch an itch or simply contribute to the project, feel free to pick something from the [roadmap]({{< relref "meta/roadmap.md" >}}) or contact the dev team via the [Forums](https://discuss.gohugo.io/) or [Gitter](https://gitter.im/spf13/hugo) about what may make sense to do next.
|
|
|
|
You should fork the project and make your changes. *We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you're ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
|
|
|
|
* Have test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
|
|
* Run `go fmt`.
|
|
* Squash your commits into a single commit. `git rebase -i`. It's okay to force update your pull request.
|
|
* Run `make check` and ensure it succeeds. [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/spf13/hugo) and [Appveyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/spf13/hugo) will runs these checks and fail the build if `make check` fails.

## Contribution Overview
|
|
|
|
We wrote a [detailed guide]({{< relref "tutorials/how-to-contribute-to-hugo.md" >}}) for newcomers that guides you step by step to your first contribution. If you are more experienced, follow the guide below.

# Building from source
|
|
|
|
## Vendored Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Hugo uses [govendor][] to vendor dependencies, but we don't commit the vendored packages themselves to the Hugo git repository.
|
|
Therefore, a simple `go get` is not supported since `go get` is not vendor-aware.
|
|
You **must use govendor** to fetch Hugo's dependencies.
|
|
|
|
## Fetch the Sources
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/kardianos/govendor
|
|
govendor get github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
|
|
## Running Hugo
|
|
|
|
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
go run main.go
|
|
|
|
## Building Hugo
|
|
|
|
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
make build
|
|
# or to install to $HOME/go/bin:
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Showcase additions
|
|
|
|
You got your new website running and it's powered by Hugo? Great. You can add your website with a few steps to the [showcase](/showcase/).
|
|
|
|
First, make sure that you created a [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) of Hugo on GitHub and cloned your fork on your local computer. Next, create a separate branch for your additions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# You can choose a different descriptive branch name if you like
|
|
git checkout -b showcase-addition
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's create a new document that contains some metadata of your homepage. Replace `example` in the following examples with something unique like the name of your website. Inside the terminal enter the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd docs
|
|
hugo new showcase/example.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should find the new file at `content/showcase/example.md`. Open it in an editor. The file should contain a frontmatter with predefined variables like below:
|
|
|
|
```

```
|
|
|
|
Add at least values for `sitelink`, `title`, `description` and a path for `thumbnail`.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, we need to create the thumbnail of your website. **It's important that the thumbnail has the required dimensions of 600px by 400px.** Give your thumbnail a name like `example-tn.png`. Save it under `docs/static/img/`.
|
|
|
|
Check a last time that everything works as expected. Start Hugo's built-in server in order to inspect your local copy of the showcase in the browser:
|
|
|
|
hugo server
|
|
|
|
If everything looks fine, we are ready to commit your additions. For the sake of best practices, please make sure that your commit follows our [code contribution guideline](https://github.com/spf13/hugo#code-contribution-guideline).
|
|
|
|
git commit -m"docs: Add example.com to the showcase"
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, we're ready to create a [pull request](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/compare).
