Creating Aliases with Hugo Commands

support
1

So, is it not possible to create an alias with an added argument at the end of it?

Here is the alias I’m trying to create:

alias hpost="hugo new content/blog/" I need to add a “space” and add article name.md after the alias.

It doesn’t execute correctly when I try it. Can anyone help? Also, yes, I’m in the right folder when running the command.

This is the error I get “Error: failed to resolve “content/blog/” to a archetype template”

that’s more bash than hugo :slightly_smiling_face:

hpost() {                                                                                                 INT ✘ ╱ 3.10.6  ╱ 13:02:05
  hugo new post/$1
}

$ hpost2 cenas.md
Content "/Users/brunoamaral/Labs/gregory-ms-website/content/post/cenas.md" created

Thank you! That worked!

I should have explained a bit.

Think of an alias as a text shortcut, it gets expanded. What I wrote is a function, it can receive input, in this case $1 .
