All contributions to Hugo are welcome. Whether you want to scratch an itch, or simply contribute to the project, feel free to pick something from the roadmap
|
|
or contact [spf13](http://spf13.com/) about what may make sense
|
|
to do next.
|
|
|
|
You should fork the project and make your changes. *We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you're ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
|
|
|
|
* Have test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
|
|
* Run `go fmt`
|
|
* Squash your commits into a single commit. `git rebase -i`. It's okay to force update your pull request.
|
|
* Make sure `go test ./...` passes, and `go build` completes. Our [Travis CI loop](https://travis-ci.org/spf13/hugo) will catch most things that are missing. The exception: Windows. We run on Windows from time to time, but if you have access, please check on a Windows machine too.

# Building from source
|
|
|
|
## Clone locally (for contributors):
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/spf13/hugo
|
|
cd hugo
|
|
go get
|
|
|
|
Because Go expects all of your libraries to be found in either
|
|
`$GOROOT` or `$GOPATH`, it's helpful to symlink the project to one
|
|
of the following paths:
|
|
|
|
* `ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo`
|
|
* `ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/spf13/hugo`
|
|
|
|
## Running Hugo

# Showcase additions
|
|
|
|
You got your new website running and it's powered by Hugo? Great. You can add your website with a few steps to the [showcase](/showcase/).
|
|
|
|
First, make sure that you created a [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) of Hugo on Github and cloned your fork on your local computer. Next, create a seperate branch for your additions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# You can choose a different descriptive branch name if you like
|
|
git checkout -b showcase-addition
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's create a new document that contains some metadata of your homepage. Replace `example` in the following examples with something unique like the name of your website. Inside the terminal enter the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd docs
|
|
hugo new showcase/example.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should find the new file at `content/showcase/example.md`. Open it in an editor. The file should contain a frontmatter with predefined variables like below:
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add at least values for `sitelink`, `title`, `description` and a path for `thumbnail`.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, we need to create the thumbnail of your website. **It's important that the thumbnail has the required dimensions of 600px by 400px.** Give your thumbnail a name like `example-tn.png` or `example-tn.jpg`. Save it under `docs/static/img/`.
|
|
|
|
Check a last time that everything works as expected. Start Hugo's built-in server in order to inspect your local copy of the showcase in the browser:
|
|
|
|
hugo server
|
|
|
|
If everything looks fine, we are ready to commit your additions. For the sake of best practices, please make sure that your commit follows our [code contribution guideline](https://github.com/spf13/hugo#code-contribution-guideline).
|
|
|
|
git commit -m"Add example.com to the showcase"
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, we're ready to create a [pull request](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/compare).
