Shortcode Variables
Shortcodes have access to parameters delimited in the shortcode declaration via .Get, page- and site-level variables, and also the following shortcode-specific fields:
.Parent- provides access to the parent shortcode context in nested shortcodes. This can be very useful for inheritance of common shortcode parameters from the root.
.IsNamedParams- boolean that returns
truewhen the shortcode in question uses named rather than positional parameters .Inner- represents the content between the opening and closing shortcode tags when a closing shortcode is used
Git Variables
Hugo provides a way to integrate Git data into your website.
{{% note ".GitInfo Performance Considerations" %}}
Hugo's Git integrations should be fairly performant but can increase your build time. This will depend on the size of your Git history.
{{% /note %}}
.GitInfo Prerequisites
- The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory.
- The Git executable must be installed and in your system
PATH. - The
.GitInfofeature must be enabled in your Hugo project by passing--enableGitInfoflag on the command line or by settingenableGitInfototruein your site's configuration file.
The .GitInfo Object
The GitInfo object contains the following fields:
.AbbreviatedHash- the abbreviated commit hash (e.g.,
866cbcc) .AuthorName- the author's name, respecting
.mailmap .AuthorEmail- the author's email address, respecting
.mailmap .AuthorDate- the author date
.Hash- the commit hash (e.g.,
866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3) .Subject- commit message subject (e.g.,
tpl: Add custom index function)
Hugo Variables
The .Hugo variable provides easy access to Hugo-related data and contains the following fields:
.Hugo.Generator<meta>`` tag for the version of Hugo that generated the site..Hugo.Generatoroutputs a *complete* HTML tag; e.g.`.Hugo.Version- the current version of the Hugo binary you are using e.g.
0.13-DEV .Hugo.CommitHash- the git commit hash of the current Hugo binary e.g.

{{% note "Use the Hugo Generator Tag" %}}
We highly recommend using .Hugo.Generator in your website's <head>. .Hugo.Generator is included by default in all themes hosted on themes.gohugo.io. The generator tag allows the Hugo team to track the usage and popularity of Hugo.
