HUGO-VERSION(1)

πŸ’– HUGO-VERSION(1) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the hugo-version page of the Hugo Manual β€” this is the one that just tells you what version you're running. iconic, lowkey essential, we love a simple queen. 🌸


✨ NAME ✨

hugo-version β€” Display version

like, literally just display the version. that's the whole job. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

hugo version [flags] [args]

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

Display version and environment info. This is useful in Hugo bug reports.

fr fr, that's it β€” it shows you your version and your environment info, and the reason you care is because when you're filing a Hugo bug report, the maintainers need to know what setup you're on. so run it, copy it, paste it into the issue, and let the main character energy flow. 🫢


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -h, --help[=false] β€” help for version. your classic "wait what does this do again" button ✨

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these babies come from the big hugo command itself, so they work here too. no cap, they're all listed:

  • --clock="" β€” set the clock used by Hugo, e.g. --clock 2021-11-06T22:30:00.00+09:00 πŸ•°οΈ
  • --config="" β€” config file (default is hugo.yaml|json|toml)
  • --configDir="config" β€” config dir
  • -d, --destination="" β€” filesystem path to write files to
  • -e, --environment="" β€” build environment
  • --ignoreVendorPaths="" β€” ignores any _vendor for module paths matching the given Glob pattern
  • --logLevel="" β€” log level (debug|info|warn|error)
  • --noBuildLock[=false] β€” don't create .hugo_build.lock file
  • --quiet[=false] β€” build in quiet mode
  • -M, --renderToMemory[=false] β€” render to memory (mostly useful when running the server)
  • -s, --source="" β€” filesystem path to read files relative from
  • --themesDir="" β€” filesystem path to themes directory
bestie reminder: those [=false] bits mean it's a boolean flag, so you can just slap it on or set it to a value. and the ="" ones are empty by default unless a default is spelled out. iykyk πŸ’–
