NAME

       hugo-server - A high performance webserver

SYNOPSIS

       hugo server [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       Hugo provides its own webserver which builds and serves the site.  While hugo server is
       high performance, it is a webserver with limited options.  Many run it in production, but
       the standard behavior is for people to use it in development and use a more full featured
       server such as Nginx or Caddy.

       'hugo server' will avoid writing the rendered and served content to disk, preferring to
       store it in memory.

       By default hugo will also watch your files for any changes you make and automatically
       rebuild the site. It will then live reload any open browser pages and push the latest
       content to them. As most Hugo sites are built in a fraction of a second, you will be able
       to save and see your changes nearly instantly.
