# GitHub Action for [Hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) ✏️ > **⚠️ Note:** To use this action, you must have access to the [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) feature. GitHub Actions are currently only available in public beta. You can [apply for the GitHub Actions beta here](https://github.com/features/actions/signup/). This is a simple GitHub Action that contains [Hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo), the popular static site generator. Unlike other actions, this action includes releases going back to [v0.27](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.27) (Sept. 11, 2017) for any compatibility requirements. ## Usage ### `workflow.yml` Example This example simply uploads the `./public` directory (the built Hugo website) as an artifact. You can replace the last `actions/upload-artifact` step with another action, like my [s3-sync-action](https://github.com/jakejarvis/s3-sync-action), to upload the built static site somewhere accessible. Replace the `master` in `uses: jakejarvis/hugo-build-action@master` to specify the Hugo version, back to [v0.27](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.27), like `hugo-build-action@v0.27`. This might be necessary if a recent version broke compatibility with your site. Otherwise, you'll get the [latest version](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases). The `with: args:` portion holds any [optional flags](https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo/). You can remove those two lines for a vanilla build. ``` jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@master - uses: jakejarvis/hugo-build-action@master with: args: --minify --buildDrafts - uses: actions/upload-artifact@master with: name: website path: './public' ``` ## License [![CC0](http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/presskit/buttons/88x31/svg/cc-zero.svg)](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) To the extent possible under law, [Jake Jarvis](https://jarv.is/) has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this work.
