I built a hugo website that I use as my tech blog. My laptop started having issues so I had to change it. Since I host the blog on Github pages my entire website folder is in a repository. On my new laptop I cloned the repository and I tried to go into my normal workflow with “hugo new content” however I get this error: “Error: Unable to locate config file or config directory. Perhaps you need to create a new site.  
Run `hugo help new` for details.”  
My configuration file that I have always used (hugo.toml ) is in the website directory. How can I solve this issue?  
[My blog github repo](https://github.com/K-Scorpio/scorpiosec)

I have tried creating a new site with with “hugo new site” then copying the contents of the github repo in it but it is not working. I verified that Git, Go, and Hugo are all installed

This worked fine for me:

```plaintext
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/K-Scorpio/scorpiosec
cd scorpiosec/
hugo new content content/foo.md

```

> Content “/home/jmooring/temp/scorpiosec/content/en/content/foo.md” created

Sadly this is not working for me, now when I try to do `hugo new content food.md` I get `Error: failed to resolve "content" to a archetype template` and when I try to do `hugo server` to look at the site I get a bunch of errors.
