hugo: Build a site to a given directory.
$ hugo --destination ${path-to-destination}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the "hugo" command line tool with a specific option called "destination".

"Hugo" is a popular static website generator written in Go. It allows developers to build websites by creating content in markup languages like Markdown and then generating static HTML files.

The "--destination" option specifies the path where the generated website files will be placed. In the command, "${path-to-destination}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the actual path to the destination directory. It could be a relative or absolute path on your file system where you want the generated website files to be stored.

By running this command, Hugo will execute its build process and generate the static website files, placing them in the specified destination directory.
