Learn about the front matter section and how properties about each file are defined. Nate shows how to edit front matter and how to learn more in the Hugo documentation.
- [Instructor] The section at the top…of each post file is the front matter.…It stores metadata or properties about the post…that aren't actually rendered or displayed to the user.…You can change or add properties…to this front matter section if you need to.…For example, you could change the title of the post,…or the publish date.…The Hugo documentation, at gohugo.io has a list…of all the front matter properties you can add.…When this post is ready to publish,…go ahead and remove the draft property…and save the file.…
Let's also check this file into Git.…We can do git add dash dash all,…git status to see what we changed,…and then git commit dash M,…first post.…Next we'll take a look at adding pages to the site…that are separate from posts.…
