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.)

Insert a cache step before site-building as follows.
Note that with latest hugo version, the cache dir location on a Linux-based operating system is ${HOME}/.cache. On macOS, ${HOME}/Library/Caches has the location.

Write a HUGO_VERSION to the .env file like the following and push it to a remote branch.
HUGO_VERSION=0.119.0Next, add a step to read a Hugo version from the .env file.

Here is an example workflow for the google/docsy Hugo theme.
This theme needs autoprefixer and postcss-cli to build a project.
The following workflow is tested with google/docsy-example.
A workflow for the Hugo Babel pipeline is also the same as follows.
