🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hugo convert [command] [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Convert front matter to another format. That's it, that's the vibe 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for convert. your little "wait what does this do again" button 🙈
  • -o, --output="" — filesystem path to write files to. default is empty, so it goes wherever it goes 💫
  • --unsafe[=false] — enable less safe operations, please backup first. BESTIE. BACK. UP. FIRST. 😭 this one is literally telling you it's the risky one, so don't come crying to me when your files are gone 💀
