Cheat Sheet

Hugo Extended Edition sacrifices some of the portability and memory-safety of Go in order to include libsass and WebP support.

• libsass (as opposed to "dartsass" - a.k.a. sass)
• WebP encoding

If you DON'T need those, check out Hugo (Standard Edition).

How to Switch Between Editions

If you've installed hugo and hugo-extended with Webi, you can switch easily:

webi hugo

switched to 'hugo v0.118.2':
    /Users/aj/.local/bin/hugo => /Users/aj/.local/opt/hugo-v0.118.2/bin/hugo

webi hugo-extended

switched to 'hugo v0.118.2':
    /home/me/.local/bin/hugo => /home/me/.local/opt/hugo-extended-v0.118.2/bin/hugo

Why NOT Use Extended Edition?

The Standard Edition is written and compiled with Go, which means it's binaries:

• work on all OSes and architectures Go supports (musl, arm, BSD, etc)
• are more secure against attacks (Go is memory-safe, C languages are not)
• slightly smaller file size (but... it doesn't really matter)
