PulseDev for Hugo.Click it, fix the template.
Click any element in your running Hugo site and say what’s wrong. Your agent opens the template or partial behind it, and live reload shows the edit before you approve the diff.
One minute of setup.
None of it ships.
Paste one tag into layouts/baseof.html and start your dev server. Keep the PulseDev app open while you work; it runs the server the widget talks to.
- Add
Paste the script tag.
Put it in layouts/baseof.html, the layout every page shares. hugo.IsServer keeps it out of production builds.
layouts/baseof.html {{ if hugo.IsServer }} <script src="http://localhost:3899/widget.js" data-token="YOUR_TOKEN"></script> {{ end }} - Run
Start Hugo as usual.
The widget shows up in the corner of every page. Click it, then click the element you want changed.
terminal $hugo server➜Local:http://localhost:1313/➜PulseDev:widget connected
