Retrieving the "environment name"

support
1

What are my options to know, which installation I am on - live or development? I want to add debugging (via partial) only on my local running instance, not after deployment.

You need to add HUGO_ENV to your build.
Two ways:
either by adding it to your CLI

$ env HUGO_ENV="production" hugo

Or if you’re on Netlify or other they have their own convenient way to define this.

Then from your templates
{{ getenv "HUGO_ENV" }}
to retrieve the value.

Thank you, that did the trick. My final snippet looks like this:

{{ if eq (getenv "HUGO_ENV") "production" }}
  {{ partial "footer/debugging.html" . }}
{{ end }}
