🦋 hugo-new-project(1) — Hugo Manual 🦋

Okay so bestie, this is the Hugo Manual page for hugo-new-project, and it's giving “make a whole new project, slay.” 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

hugo-new-project — create a new project. Periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hugo new project [path] [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Create a new project at the specified path. That's the whole vibe: you point at a path, and Hugo sets up a new project there. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f, --force[=false] — init inside a non-empty directory. Yes, even when the directory already has stuff in it. 💅
• --format="toml" — the preferred file format. Your choices are toml, yaml, or json, and the default is toml. ✨
• -h, --help[=false] — help for project. Iconic, honestly. 🎀

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

These bad boys come from the parent command, but they're still part of the group chat. 🫶
