How do I preview my site before it goes live?

This skill includes a specialized Hugo PR Preview workflow that builds the site on every pull request and provides a build summary to help you catch errors before merging.

Does this skill support Hugo themes that require SCSS?

Yes, the workflows include specific configurations to install the Hugo Extended edition, which is necessary for SCSS and PostCSS processing.

Can I use this for Hugo sites that use Modules?

Absolutely. The skill provides workflow snippets that cache Hugo modules based on your go.sum file to significantly reduce build times.

What is the benefit of content-aware path filtering?

Path filtering ensures your site only rebuilds when relevant files like content, layouts, or config change, saving GitHub Actions minutes in repositories that also contain application code.
