I am having a difficult time following what are you doing.
Assuming your GOPATH is $HOME/go, the process should be:
- Fork the Hugo repository
- Create a directory outside of the
GOPATH($HOME/code) -
cdinto the directory you just created - Clone your fork
-
cdinto the source directory ($HOME/code/hugo) - Create a new branch with a meaningful name (
git checkout -b fix/correct-typo) - Make your changes.
- Compile (
go install -tags extended) - Test (
mage -v test) - Commit your changes locally
- Push the branch to your repository
- Head over to the Hugo repository to create the pull request
