Hugo-multisite-manager

Thanks to all the open source maintainers, contributors & the community for sharing their knowledge.

This repo is built on top of Hugo and lets you manage multiple websites from a single Hugo setup. Each website is added as a git submodule and you can publish those websites using either Github Pages or your own deployment scripts.

I used this answer on hugo forum to build this project https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-multisite-workflow/103/8

Instructions

1. Theme: After cloning, take a look at setup.sh and update the theme if you'd like. Make sure to also change the line that sets the theme in config.toml.
2. Run setup.sh. This will install Hugo if required, and create the websites folder which acts as the container for all your websites.
3. You should now see a folder multisite which is the base Hugo website.
4. Run createWebsite.sh <website_name> <repository_url> to add it as a submodule inside the multisite\websites folder. This will create a content, public and config.toml in the child website if they don't already exist.
5. To customize individual website settings, you can edit this config.toml in each of the websites subfolder.
6. To run your website, run hugo server or hugo with --config option to pass it your own config. Example: hugo server --config=websites/<website_name>/config.toml or hugo --config=websites/<website_name>/config.toml The generated website will live in websites/<website_name>/public folder which you can then deploy.
