This Hugo Setup Action can install Hugo to a virtual machine of GitHub Actions. Hugo extended version, Hugo Modules, Linux (Ubuntu), macOS, and Windows are supported.

From v2, this Hugo Setup Action has migrated to a JavaScript (TypeScript) action. We no longer build or pull a Hugo docker image. Thanks to this change, we can complete this action in less than a few seconds. (A docker base action was taking about 1 min or more execution time to build and pull a docker image.)

Getting started

⭐️ Create your workflow

An example workflow .github/workflows/gh-pages.yml with GitHub Actions for GitHub Pages. For the first deployment, we have to do this operation: First Deployment with GITHUB_TOKEN - peaceiris/actions-gh-pages

peaceiris/actions-gh-pages - GitHub

name: GitHub Pages

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main  # Set a branch to deploy
  pull_request:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    concurrency:
      group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          submodules: true  # Fetch Hugo themes (true OR recursive)
          fetch-depth: 0    # Fetch all history for .GitInfo and .Lastmod

      - name: Setup Hugo
        uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
        with:
          hugo-version: '0.91.2'
          # extended: true

      - name: Build
        run: hugo --minify

      - name: Deploy
        uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
        if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          publish_dir: ./public

Options

⭐️ Use Hugo extended

Set extended: true to use a Hugo extended version.

- name: Setup Hugo
  uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
  with:
    hugo-version: '0.91.2'
    extended: true

⭐️ Use the latest version of Hugo

Set hugo-version: 'latest' to use the latest version of Hugo.

- name: Setup Hugo
  uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
  with:
    hugo-version: 'latest'

This action fetches the latest version of Hugo by hugo | Homebrew Formulae

Tips

⭐️ Caching Hugo Modules

Insert a cache step before site-building as follows. Note that the cache dir location of Hugo on a Linux-based operating system is /tmp/hugo_cache. On macOS, ${TMPDIR}/hugo_cache has the location.

- uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: /tmp/hugo_cache
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-hugomod-${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-hugomod-

- name: Build
  run: hugo --minify

⭐️ Read Hugo version from file

How to sync a Hugo version between a Docker Compose and a GitHub Actions workflow via .env file.

Write a HUGO_VERSION to the .env file like the following and push it to a remote branch.

HUGO_VERSION=0.91.2

Next, add a step to read a Hugo version from the .env file.

    - name: Read .env
      id: hugo-version
      run: |
        . ./.env
        echo "::set-output name=HUGO_VERSION::${HUGO_VERSION}"

    - name: Setup Hugo
      uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
      with:
        hugo-version: '${{ steps.hugo-version.outputs.HUGO_VERSION }}'
        extended: true

Here is a docker-compose.yml example.

version: '3'

services:
  hugo:
    container_name: hugo
    image: "peaceiris/hugo:v${HUGO_VERSION}"
    # image: peaceiris/hugo:v${HUGO_VERSION}-mod   # Hugo Modules
    # image: peaceiris/hugo:v${HUGO_VERSION}-full  # Hugo Modules and Node.js
    ports:
      - 1313:1313
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}:/src
    command:
      - server
      - --bind=0.0.0.0
      - --buildDrafts

The alpine base Hugo Docker image is provided on the following repository.

peaceiris/hugo-extended-docker: Hugo alpine base Docker image (Hugo extended and Hugo Modules)

⭐️ Workflow for autoprefixer and postcss-cli

Here is an example workflow for the google/docsy Hugo theme. This theme needs autoprefixer and postcss-cli to build a project. The following workflow is tested with google/docsy-example.

A workflow for the Hugo Babel pipeline is also the same as follows.

name: GitHub Pages

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master  # Set a branch to deploy
  pull_request:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    concurrency:
      group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          submodules: recursive  # Fetch the Docsy theme
          fetch-depth: 0         # Fetch all history for .GitInfo and .Lastmod

      - name: Setup Hugo
        uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v2
        with:
          hugo-version: '0.91.2'
          extended: true

      - name: Setup Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '16'
          cache: 'npm'
          # The action defaults to search for the dependency file (package-lock.json,
          # npm-shrinkwrap.json or yarn.lock) in the repository root, and uses its
          # hash as a part of the cache key.
          # https://github.com/actions/setup-node/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#caching-packages-data
          cache-dependency-path: '**/package-lock.json'
