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.
First, to maximize compatibility with all Hugo versions, let's define the variable HUGO_CACHEDIR:
# * ...
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
env:
HUGO_CACHEDIR: /tmp/hugo_cache # <- Define the env variable here, so that Hugo's cache dir is now predictible in your workflow and doesn't depend on the Hugo's version you're using.
# * ...Now, let's add the cache action call just above the Build step:
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: ${{ env.HUGO_CACHEDIR }} # <- Use the same env variable just right here
key: ${{ runner.os }}-hugomod-${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }}

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.
- name: Read .env
id: hugo-version
run: |
. ./.env
echo "HUGO_VERSION=${HUGO_VERSION}" >> "${GITHUB_OUTPUT}"

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.
