GitHub Action for Hugo ✏️

This is a simple GitHub Action that contains Hugo, the popular static site generator. The extended version is now bundled by default. Unlike other actions, this action includes releases going back to v0.27 (September 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 James Ives' GitHub Pages deploy action or my 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, 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.

The with: args: portion holds any optional flags. 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'
