Hugo in version 0.114.0 finally introduced the changes I wrote about a while back. The hugo command on the CLI now dropped the –log and –verboseLog flags and deprecated the –verbose and –debug flags. Instead, it now uses the –logLevel as an indicator of verbosity.

There is a recent commit in GoHugo’s repository that removes several CLI parameters I was using in my projects. Those flags were –debug, –log, –logFile and –verboseLog. While I am not discussing this decision (I don’t like it, but I understand that keeping these things in the software needs someone able to keep them up to date and conclusive and the developer of the software seems to be unable to) I am still interested in the idea of having a file with all output of my Hugo runs available so I can parse through it and see what is going on while building the site.
