Hello,

I am newbie with Hugo and I need some help.

I try to put my hugo to netlify via GitLab but I’ve got this error :

Your repo is private, so you’ll only get limited help; we can’t see much from the error.

That could be it.

Aside from that, your build script needs refining/to be thrown in a dumpster and caught on 🔥. 🙂 Why ya installing PHP and Ruby for? That’s weird.

Share yer repo, and we’ll get to the bottom of it. 🙂

You probably have a `theme = ""` in your config.
