The flag -f in hugo new site -f no longer works

[yihui]

The command

hugo new site test -f yaml

throws an error:

command error: unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f

The --format flag still works, though. Documentation: https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo_new_site/

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.112.0-0a95d6704a8ac8d41cc5ca8fffaad8c5c7a3754a+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=2023-05-23T08:14:20Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes. The problem can be reproduced with Hugo version >= 0.112.0.

It might be caused by 85b13c1.

The --format is now a global flag, and because of that we needed to remove the shorthand (there was a conflict with another flag with the same shorthand).

Okay, thanks for the explanation! It will be nice to mention it in the release notes and update the documentation accordingly.

@yihui I've updated the documentation. See https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo/.

@jmooring Thanks!

@bep On a possibly related note, the -t / --theme flags were removed from hugo new (also absent in hugo new content): gohugoio/hugoDocs@fb3027d#diff-9b75f7a964edc681f1e213d44f1ec7a3d4f5f1678c25f45c78cb238cb2ca052cL62 Was that intentional?
