## hugo mod

Various Hugo Modules helpers.

### Synopsis

Various helpers to help manage the modules in your project's dependency graph.

Most operations here requires a Go version installed on your system (>= Go 1.12) and the relevant VCS client (typically Git).
This is not needed if you only operate on modules inside /themes or if you have vendored them via "hugo mod vendor".


Note that Hugo will always start out by resolving the components defined in the site
configuration, provided by a _vendor directory (if no --ignoreVendor flag provided),
Go Modules, or a folder inside the themes directory, in that order.

See https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/ for more information.
