I am getting familiar with Hugo and trying to write a Lambda function to execute Hugo. That’s going okay, but I’m caught up with some problems with Hugo itself. When I run Hugo locally to better understand it, I’m noticing the index.html page doesn’t necessarily refresh when I add posts. Here are the steps I’m taking.
1. Generate site
2. Create new post using `hugo new hugo-on-lambda` command
3. Change `draft: true` to `false` in new post
4. Generate content using `hugo` command
5. View `public/index.html` file
The index.html file doesn’t seem to change much or at all after this process. What can I look into?

Share your site code. We need to see your templates to see what’s going on

Thank you for the fast response. Here’s a repository I setup with the code, both public and “backend”.

Your content has no file extension. Add a `.md` to each post

FYI you can add the extension when you create a new post, e.g.
```
hugo new posts/some-post.md
```
