✨ HUGO-NEW-SITE ✨

okay bestie, so this is hugo-new-site — it's the hugo manual page for spawning a brand new site, and honestly? it's giving main character energy from the very first command. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hugo new site [path] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Create a new site at the specified path. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you point it at a path, it makes you a site there. slay. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -f, --force[=false] — init inside a non-empty directory. like, yes queen, go ahead and set up shop in a folder that already has stuff in it. 🫶
  • --format="toml" — the preferred file format. your options are toml, yaml or json. default is toml, no cap.
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for site. it's the "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones you get from the parent command, and they are lowkey iconic.

  • --clock="" — set the clock used by Hugo, e.g. --clock 2021-11-06T22:30:00.00+09:00. time travel but make it build tooling. ⭐
  • --config="" — config file (default is hugo.yaml|json|toml). 🎀
  • --configDir="config" — config dir. the place where your config lives, bestie.
  • -d, --destination="" — filesystem path to write files to.
  • -e, --environment="" — build environment. vibe check for which env you're building in. 🌈
  • --ignoreVendorPaths="" — ignores any _vendor for module paths matching the given Glob pattern. it's literally "not me looking at that vendor folder." 💀
  • --logLevel="" — log level (debug|info|warn|error). pick your volume, girl. 🔥
  • --noBuildLock[=false] — don't create .hugo_build.lock file.
  • --quiet[=false] — build in quiet mode. shhh. 🤫
  • -M, --renderToMemory[=false] — render to memory (mostly useful when running the server). big brain energy. 🧠
  • -s, --source="" — filesystem path to read files relative from.
  • --themesDir="" — filesystem path to themes directory. all your themes in one cute lil home. 🏠
