Hugoifier

AI-powered Hugo theme converter with Decap CMS integration.

Hugoifier converts any HTML/CSS theme into a production-ready Hugo site — complete with layouts, content structure, and a fully configured Decap CMS admin panel. Supports Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4, and Google Gemini as AI backends.

Features

• HTML → Hugo — AI converts raw HTML/CSS templates into valid Hugo Go template files with proper partials, blocks, and template variables
• Multi-backend AI — Route to Anthropic (default), OpenAI, or Google Gemini via HUGOIFIER_BACKEND
• Decap CMS out of the box — Auto-generates static/admin/config.yml by introspecting your content structure, including deeply nested collections
• Hugo API modernization — Automatically patches deprecated Hugo APIs (.Site.DisqusShortname, .Site.GoogleAnalytics, paginate, etc.) for Hugo ≥ v0.128
• Whitelabel CMS — Customize the Decap admin panel name, logo, and color per deployment
• Smart theme detection — Handles messy zip-extracted directory structures, skips __MACOSX artifacts, detects exampleSite automatically
• Docker support — Fully containerized with docker-compose.yml
