hugo server
hugo server
A high performance webserver
Synopsis
Hugo provides its own webserver which builds and serves the site. While hugo server is high performance, it is a webserver with limited options.
‘hugo server’ will avoid writing the rendered and served content to disk, preferring to store it in memory.
By default hugo will also watch your files for any changes you make and automatically rebuild the site. It will then live reload any open browser pages and push the latest content to them. As most Hugo sites are built in a fraction of a second, you will be able to save and see your changes nearly instantly.
