GoHugo Shorturl

Min Hugo Version: 0.77.0

Create shorter urls to external resources for your own convenience or to your own content, to get the benefits described by Derek Sivers.

Install

If you havenโ€™t used hugo modules before (you need the go compiler):

hugo mod init <my-module-path>

more details in hugo docs.

Then run:

hugo mod get -u -v joly.pw/gohugo-shorturl

and edit your hugo config, for instance for config.toml

[module]
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "joly.pw/gohugo-shorturl"

Use

Imagine we want to create the short url https://my.site/a and to have it redirect to https://gohugo.io/content-management/archetypes/#directory-based-archetypes:

hugo new --kind shorturl content/a.md

and then edit content/a.md:

---
title: "A"
date: 2021-03-07T13:57:13Z
draft: true
type: "shorturl"
shortto: ""
---

Change the shortto above to https://gohugo.io/content-management/archetypes/#directory-based-archetypes and draft to false

---
title: "A"
date: 2021-03-07T13:57:13Z
draft: true
type: "shorturl"
shortto: "https://gohugo.io/content-management/archetypes/#directory-based-archetypes"
---

Then deploy my.site and open https://my.site/a, you will be redirected!

Other parameters

[[module.imports]]
path = "joly.pw/gohugo-shorturl"

Please consider sending a PR with your patches, itโ€™s always appreciated and will save you the trouble of maintaining the changes on your own!
