Gradle Hugo plugin

Wrapper for Hugo static site generator.

The plugin provides a declarative approach for the Hugo binary used to build the static site.
The requested Hugo version is downloaded and cached by Gradle to ensure that your static site is built with the right version of Hugo.

Extension configuration

Plugin extension is available to override general configuration (default values provided below).

hugo {
    // Hugo version
    version = "0.136.2"
    // Relative path to sources of Hugo site in Gradle project
    sourceDirectory = "site"
    // Download URL for Windows ( {0} can be used to replace version )
    windowsDownloadUrl = "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v{0}/hugo_extended_{0}_windows-amd64.zip"
    // Download URL for Linux ( {0} can be used to replace version )
    linuxDownloadUrl = "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v{0}/hugo_extended_{0}_linux-amd64.tar.gz"
    // Download URL for macOS ( {0} can be used to replace version )
    macOSDownloadUrl = "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v{0}/hugo_extended_{0}_darwin-universal.tar.gz"
    // Operating system family (Windows, macOS or Unix)
    osFamily = io.github.fstaudt.hugo.OsFamily.CURRENT_SYSTEM // default value derived from system property "os.name"
}
