I din’t say that this does not work on your machine, but it won’t work somewhere else cause
Lets say this is the root of your of your repo /somewhere/clone this contains the exampleSitefolder.
This one will move two folders up --themesDir ../.. so we are in /somewhere …
educated guess: you have a fork of the theme in parallel to your site repo.

ERROR deprecated: site config key paginate was deprecated in Hugo v0.128.0 and will be removed in Hugo 0.144.0. Use pagination.pagerSize instead.
Hugo provides its own webserver which builds and serves the site.
While hugo server is high performance, it is a webserver with limited options.
Noise
The hugo server command will by default write and serve files from disk, but
you can render to memory by using the --renderToMemory flag. This can be
faster in some cases, but it will consume more memory.
By default hugo will also watch your files for any changes you make and
automatically rebuild the site. It will then live reload any open browser pages
and push the latest content to them. As most Hugo sites are built in a fraction
of a second, you will be able to save and see your changes nearly instantly.

Error: command error: failed to load modules: module "geeky-hugo" not found in

"C:\\_repos\\github\\clone".: module does not exist
downgrade Hugo
Depends on the installation method you used. no idea how to do it on Mac. Hugo is just one binare you could fetch from the Release page and put it somewhere.
