-C "run as if hugo was started in given path" (equivalent to git -C)

1

What do you think about adding a new flag for hugo to simplify building the site from command line? It’s an equivalent of git -C. It would allow you to run hugo irrespective of your current location.

Instead of writing this cd /home/user/example.org/ && hugo && popd you could just use this hugo -C /home/user/example.org/.

-C isn’t used for anything right now (hugo v0.118.2+extended).

By the way I’m new to hugo, so if anyone knows if this can be done already in some other way, please let me know.

Oh thanks, I’ve been searching only for “directory” or “folder” :slight_smile: Could have thought that it may be called “path” as well
