The [directory structure][] of a Hugo website—or more precisely, the source organization of files containing the website's content and templates—provides most of the configuration information that Hugo needs in order to generate a finished website.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of Hugo's sensible defaults, many websites may not need a configuration file. Hugo is designed to recognize certain typical usage patterns.
|
||||
## All Configuration Settings
|
||||
|
||||
The following is the full list of Hugo-defined variables with its default value in parens.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
archetypeDir ("archetypes")
|
||||
: The directory where Hugo finds archetype files (content templates).
|
||||
|
||||
baseURL
|
||||
: Hostname (and path) to the root, e.g. http://bep.is/
|
||||
|
||||
buildDrafts (false)
|
||||
: Include drafts when building.
|
||||
|
||||
buildFuture (false)
|
||||
: Include content with publishdate in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
buildExpired (false)
|
||||
: Include content already expired.
|
||||
|
||||
relativeURLs (false)
|
||||
: Enable this to make all relative URLs relative to content root. Note that this does not affect absolute URLs.
|
||||

||||
canonifyURLs (false)
|
||||
: Enable to turn relative URLs into absolute.
|
||||
|
||||
config ("config.toml")
|
||||
: Config file (default is path/config.yaml|json|toml).
|
||||
|
||||
contentDir ("content")
|
||||
: The directory from where Hugo reads content files.
|
||||
|
||||
dataDir ("data")
|
||||
: The directory from where Hugo reads data files.
|
||||
|
||||
defaultContentLanguage ("en")

||||
: Content without language indicator will default to this language.
|
||||
|
||||
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir (false)

||||
disableLiveReload (false)
|
||||
: Turn off automatic live reloading of browser window.
|
||||
|
||||
enableGitInfo (false)

|
||||
: When enabled, Hugo will generate a `robots.txt` file.
|
||||

|
||||
: Hugo will, by default, inject a generator meta tag in the HTML head on the _home page only_. You can turn it off, but we would really appreciate if you don't, as this is a good way to watch Hugo's popularity on the rise.
|
||||
|
||||
