Collaborative websites need to be forked, but if you set a hostname variable, such as baseURL
in Hugo, the forked website will load resources from the original.. Not ideal.
The fix I applied to my GitHub Actions CI to work around this:
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
defaults:
run:
shell: bash
steps:
- name: Build 🔨
run: |
hugo --baseURL https://${GITHUB_REPOSITORY%%/*}.github.io/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY#*/}
This overrides the configured baseURL
at build time with your GitHub account name as the subdomain and the repository as the directory.
I share this in hopes it saves you the time I lost figuring this out!
