## hugo mod
Various Hugo Modules helpers.
### Synopsis
Various helpers to help manage the modules in your project's dependency graph.
Most operations here requires a Go version installed on your system (>= Go 1.12) and the relevant VCS client (typically Git).
This is not needed if you only operate on modules inside /themes or if you have vendored them via "hugo mod vendor".
Note that Hugo will always start out by resolving the components defined in the site
configuration, provided by a _vendor directory (if no --ignoreVendor flag provided),
Go Modules, or a folder inside the themes directory, in that order.
See https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/ for more information.
### Options
```
-b, --baseURL string hostname (and path) to the root, e.g. http://spf13.com/

--cacheDir string filesystem path to cache directory. Defaults: $TMPDIR/hugo_cache/

-c, --contentDir string filesystem path to content directory
-d, --destination string filesystem path to write files to
--disableKinds strings disable different kind of pages (home, RSS etc.)
