💅 hugo-import-jekyll(1) — the Hugo Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is the hugo-import-jekyll page from the Hugo manual — it lives at hugo-import-jekyll(1) and it's literally your cheat code for moving a whole Jekyll blog over to Hugo. iykyk 💖

✨ NAME ✨

hugo-import-jekyll — hugo import from Jekyll 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hugo import jekyll [flags] [args]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

hugo import from Jekyll. — that's the whole vibe, no cap. you're pulling a Jekyll site into Hugo and letting Hugo do the heavy lifting.

the way this works: importing from Jekyll needs two paths, fr fr. like this 👇

hugo import jekyll jekyll_root_path target_path

first path = where your Jekyll stuff lives, second path = where you want the shiny new Hugo output to land. two paths, both required, that's the whole deal 🫶

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --force[=false] — lets you import into a target directory that's already got stuff in it. lowkey the "i know what i'm doing" flag 💀 default is false.
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for jekyll. the classic "what does this even do again" button 🙈 default is false.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these bad boys come down from the parent command, so they work here too — main character energy all the way down the chain ✨

  • --clock="" — set the clock used by Hugo, e.g. --clock 2021-11-06T22:30:00.00+09:00. yes the timestamp is literally part of the example, i don't make the rules 🕰️
  • --config="" — config file (default is hugo.yaml|json|toml) 📄
  • --configDir="config" — config dir. default is literally "config" 🗂️
  • -d, --destination="" — filesystem path to write files to 🎯
  • -e, --environment="" — build environment 🌈
  • --ignoreVendorPaths="" — ignores any _vendor for module paths matching the given Glob pattern 🚫
  • --logLevel="" — log level (debug|info|warn|error) 📢
  • --noBuildLock[=false] — don't create .hugo_build.lock file. defaults to false, so by default it does create it, just so we're clear 💅
  • --quiet[=false] — build in quiet mode. shhhh 🤫 default false.
  • -M, --renderToMemory[=false] — render to memory (mostly useful when running the server). default false 🧠
  • -s, --source="" — filesystem path to read files relative from 📁
  • --themesDir="" — filesystem path to themes directory 🎨
ngl, that's a lot of inherited flags — but they're all right there, zero gatekeeping, you got this 💪
