Loving Hugo
Hugo is great
Even though I’m late to the party, having not blogged for a while (see my older posts here), I came across a bug in Hugo today. To get a little bit more performance from my site I decided to use the --minify
option in the hugo
command for the production
build on netlify’s build server in netlify.toml
as you can see here.
My navbar didn’t have icons in it before, and I thought it would look nicer with some icons added. On my local server it looked fine:

local
but when deployed to netlify, the spaces between the icon and text were removed. Seems like I came across an ugly minify bug in hugo.

Great support
Literally less than an hour after me posting this to the Hugo support forum, the main developer bep replied and told me it was a bug. Shortly after, it was scheduled to be fixed in the very next release of Hugo!
Amazing 🙂
Loving this platform!
