Shortcode Variables

Shortcodes have access to parameters delimited in the shortcode declaration via .Get, page- and site-level variables, and also the following shortcode-specific fields:

.Parent
provides access to the parent shortcode context in nested shortcodes. This can be very useful for inheritance of common shortcode parameters from the root.
.IsNamedParams
boolean that returns true when the shortcode in question uses named rather than positional parameters
.Inner
represents the content between the opening and closing shortcode tags when a closing shortcode is used

Git Variables

Hugo provides a way to integrate Git data into your website.

{{% note ".GitInfo Performance Considerations" %}} Hugo's Git integrations should be fairly performant but can increase your build time. This will depend on the size of your Git history. {{% /note %}}

.GitInfo Prerequisites

  1. The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory.
  2. The Git executable must be installed and in your system PATH.
  3. The .GitInfo feature must be enabled in your Hugo project by passing --enableGitInfo flag on the command line or by setting enableGitInfo to true in your site's configuration file.

The .GitInfo Object

The GitInfo object contains the following fields:

.AbbreviatedHash
the abbreviated commit hash (e.g., 866cbcc)
.AuthorName
the author's name, respecting .mailmap
.AuthorEmail
the author's email address, respecting .mailmap
.AuthorDate
the author date
.Hash
the commit hash (e.g., 866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3)
.Subject
commit message subject (e.g., tpl: Add custom index function)

Hugo Variables

The .Hugo variable provides easy access to Hugo-related data and contains the following fields:

.Hugo.Generator
<meta>`` tag for the version of Hugo that generated the site. .Hugo.Generatoroutputs a *complete* HTML tag; e.g.`
.Hugo.Version
the current version of the Hugo binary you are using e.g. 0.13-DEV
.Hugo.CommitHash
the git commit hash of the current Hugo binary e.g. 0e8bed9ccffba0df554728b46c5bbf6d78ae5247
.Hugo.BuildDate
the compile date of the current Hugo binary formatted with RFC 3339 e.g. 2002-10-02T10:00:00-05:00

{{% note "Use the Hugo Generator Tag" %}} We highly recommend using .Hugo.Generator in your website's <head>. .Hugo.Generator is included by default in all themes hosted on themes.gohugo.io. The generator tag allows the Hugo team to track the usage and popularity of Hugo. {{% /note %}}
