Heroku buildpack: Hugo

This is a Heroku buildpack for sites powered by Hugo. It uses the latest stable version of Hugo.

Usage

Create a Heroku application using this buildpack:

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/roperzh/heroku-buildpack-hugo.git

or configure your existent application:

$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/roperzh/heroku-buildpack-hugo.git"

Then simply git push to heroku and open your application!

$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open

Legacy Compatibility

For most pages this buildpack should work just fine. If, however, you're unable to deploy using this new version of the buildpack, you can get your app working again by locking it to the previous version:

heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/roperzh/heroku-buildpack-hugo#v0.12
git commit -am "Empty commit" --allow-empty
git push heroku master

Using themes

This buildpack provides a simple api to use custom themes, just add a .hugotheme file in the root of your application with the url of your theme.

Example

To fetch the great hyde theme:

https://github.com/spf13/hyde.git

Here is an example application, and here is the code.

Alternative method

If you don't like the idea of a .hugotheme file, you can simply manage your themes with git submodules. Heroku will take care to fetch all the submodules in your project.

Important notes

Don't forget to configure your hugo baseurl with the url of your application.
