Would someone be able to help me deploy [my hugo site](https://github.com/ItsPugle/ItsPugle-Hugo/) to Netlify?

**A lot of things are wrong!**

You just need to read the errors.

* * *

As the error says:

> 9:19:19 PM: ERROR: 2017/10/19 11:19:19 hugo.go:346: No ‘baseurl’ set in configuration or as a flag. Features like page menus will not work without one.

You are missing a baseurl in you [`config.toml`](https://github.com/ItsPugle/ItsPugle-Hugo/blob/master/config.toml). You can either specify the `baseurl` in there, or put it directly in the Netlify **Build command** as `hugo --baseURL=https://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/`.

* * *

Also using plain `hugo` uses an archaic `hugo` version… version 0.17 as in the below error.

> 9:19:19 PM: ERROR: 2017/10/19 11:19:19 hugo.go:421: Current theme does not support Hugo version 0.17. Minimum version required is 0.25

Instead, set the hugo version to the latest in Netlify by setting the `HUGO_VERSION` to **0.30.2** or the latest version in _[Netlify App](https://app.netlify.com/sites/YOUR-SITE/settings/deploys#build-environment-variables)_.

Below error is related because that old hugo version does not understand `now`.

Hey @kaushalmodi!

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m not familiar in the slightest with deployment and all that digital goodness, so I struggled to understand what those errors actually mean.

I’ve added in a `baseURL` to the config.toml file per the deploy URL: [https://general-manager-chipmunk-77848.netlify.com/](https://general-manager-chipmunk-77848.netlify.com/). I’ve also added the `HUGO_VERSION` variable to the build variables, and set it to 0.30.2 per your suggestion.

Cheers, and thank you so much ❤
