Tools to help you upgrade and manage your Hugo / Hugo Blox sites.

🚀 Upgrade to Hugo Blox v0.8.0 →  •  Docs  •  Templates

• singular2plural

  • Upgrade your site to the latest content type conventions (required for Hugo Blox v0.8.0).
  • Supports --dry-run and adds helpful Netlify redirects.

• refactor-pages-to-page-bundles.sh

  • Convert page files to page bundles: content/<section>/X.md → content/<section>/X/index.md.

  • Helps migrate Academic v2.4.0 → v3.0.0.

  • Usage:

    bash refactor-pages-to-page-bundles.sh

• refactor_pages_convert_TOML_to_YAML.py

  • Convert all front matter from TOML to YAML for broader editor compatibility.

  • Setup (Poetry):

    # In this repo's root
    curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -  # if needed
    poetry install

  • Run:

    # From this repo root
    poetry run python3 refactor_pages_convert_TOML_to_YAML.py
    # Or from a site directory
    poetry run python3 /path/to/awesome-hugo/refactor_pages_convert_TOML_to_YAML.py

• refactor-widget-bundles-as-headless.sh

  • Academic v4.1 → v4.2: add headless: true to homepage section bundles.

  • Usage:

    bash refactor-widget-bundles-as-headless.sh

• refactor_page_bundles_to_pages.sh

  • Convert homepage page bundles back to page files (mainly for testing/downgrades).

  • Note: no --dry-run flag. Manually review and comment out mv/rm lines to simulate a dry-run.

  • Usage:

    bash refactor_page_bundles_to_pages.sh

Have a useful script for managing or upgrading Hugo/Hugo Blox sites? We welcome contributions!

• Submit a PR adding your script in a clearly named folder (and keep it MIT-licensed)
• Include a brief README.md with usage, flags (prefer a --dry-run), and caveats
• Prefer cross-platform approaches (macOS/Linux; Windows via WSL) and non-destructive defaults
• For Python tools, use Python 3.8+ and declare deps in pyproject.toml (Poetry)
• For shell tools, stick to standard Unix utilities and document any assumptions

Not sure where to start? Open an issue or discuss ideas in Discord.

• macOS/Linux. Windows users can use Windows Subsystem for Linux.
• For Python scripts: Python 3.8+ with Poetry-managed deps (pyyaml, toml).
• For shell scripts: standard Unix tools (bash/zsh, find, sed).

These tools are provided under MIT as templates to assist migrations. Test locally with hugo server before deploying.
