I am working on a project using the Hugo static site generator with the Book theme. When I looked at this command page, it looked like typing the word “hugo” at the base directory of my site would render the site to the public folder. However, when I did that, no index.html file was generated – grr! After some more searching, I figured out that if you are using a theme (like I am), the theme needs to be specified (“hugo -t book”). Once I added that flag, it worked! Oh, the joy….
