# Hugo Docs
Documentation site for [Hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo), the very fast and flexible static site generator built with love in Go.
## Contributing
We welcome contributions to Hugo of any kind including documentation, suggestions, bug reports, pull requests etc. Also check out our [contribution guide](https://gohugo.io/contribute/documentation/). We would love to hear from you.
Note that this repository contains solely the documentation for Hugo. For contributions that aren't documentation-related please refer to the [hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) repository.
*Pull requests shall **only** contain changes to the actual documentation. However, changes on the code base of Hugo **and** the documentation shall be a single, atomic pull request in the [hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) repository.*
Spelling fixes are most welcomed, and if you want to contribute longer sections to the documentation, it would be great if you had the following criteria in mind when writing:
* Short is good. People go to the library to read novels. If there is more than one way to _do a thing_ in Hugo, describe the current _best practice_ (avoid "… but you can also do …" and "… in older versions of Hugo you had to …".
* For example, try to find short snippets that teaches people about the concept. If the example is also useful as-is (copy and paste), then great. Don't list long and similar examples just so people can use them on their sites.
* Hugo has users from all over the world, so easy to understand and [simple English](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English) is good.
## Branches
* The `master` branch is where the site is automatically built from, and is the place to put changes relevant to the current Hugo version.
* The `next` branch is where we store changes that are related to the next Hugo release. This can be previewed here: https://next--gohugoio.netlify.com/
## Build
To view the documentation site locally, you need to clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs.git
```
Also note that the documentation version for a given version of Hugo can also be found in the `/docs` sub-folder of the [Hugo source repository](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo).
Then to view the docs in your browser, run Hugo and open up the link:
```bash
▶ hugo server
