GitHub Actions for Hugo

• gohugoio/hugo: The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

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.)

Tips

⭐️ 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=0.62.2

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
    ports:
      - 1313:1313
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}:/src
    command:
      - server
      - --bind=0.0.0.0
      - --buildDrafts
