Is this a docs issue?

  • My issue is about the documentation content or website

Type of issue

Other

Description

By default Hugo will inject <meta name=generator content="Hugo 0.141.0"> or whatever version you use in the <head> of your home page.

I also use Hugo on my site and only recently discovered this.

It's not necessarily a problem but it's something to be aware of since it leaks implementation details of how the docs are generated. I know the docs are open source so it doesn't matter in this case.

Location

https://docs.docker.com/

Suggestion

It's up to you on whether or not you want to remove it.

In Hugo's config file you can add disableHugoGeneratorInject: true to prevent it from being injected.

Thanks! Yeah, doesn't look like a security issue, but also quite likely irrelevant to the reader; are you interested in opening a pull request?
