I’ve been using Hugo for a little while now on Linux. Since I had my MacBook with me this weekend, I wanted to give it a try. It was easy.
The first thing to do was to do a git clone
for my blog content. Nothing surprising there.
Next, I installed Hugo using brew install hugo
. That took a few minutes but got me v0.76.5/extended
on the Mac. No issues.
After that I created a post (this one) using hugo new
and previewed it out with hugo serve
. I ran into a problem building the site:
Start building sites …
Built in 22 ms
Error: Error building site: "/Users/robericsson/myblog/content/page/search.md:5:1": failed to extract shortcode: template for shortcode "search" not found
I’ve run into this before so ran:
git submodule init
git submodule update
Tried hugo serve
again and Bob’s your uncle.
Lastly, did a git commit
and a git push
to publish it.
All in all, it took about 15 minutes from zero to new post. Another win for Hugo.
