Hugo’s roadmap got itself a new milestone when .43 delivered Hugo Pipes, a built-in set of asset processing methods.

From now on, Hugo will take care of bundling, minifying, fingerprinting our assets and even compiling our sass files! All of this without any external build tools.

In this post we’ll go through Hugo Pipes methods to cover how easy it is to implement a basic Hugo Pipes asset pipeline before turning to more advanced use cases, involving relinquishing some Sass and JS variables to our editors.
