Trying to install Hugo via Homebrew - "Could Not Resolve HEAD to a Revision"
Use
git -C $(brew --repository homebrew/core) checkout master
or
git -C $(brew --repository homebrew/core) reset --hard HEAD
As illustrated by this thread, this might be related to brew itself, not so much hugo.
brew install --verbose hugo
This should give you more and allow you to see at which step brew is stuck.
[where the error occurred], I changed into that directory to find that it was empty – all that was in the dir was a
.git/folder and nothing else.So, to restore the missing contents, I used
git fetchandgit pull --rebase.
No available formula or cask with the name "hugo".
That points to a brew configuration issue, since there is a formulae for hugo
Packages are installed according to their formulae, which live in
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula
Check that Formula folder and see if hugo is missing there.
If not, at least try brew extract hugo inside a new tap.
brew tap-new gohugoio/hugo
brew extract --version 0.80.0 hugo gohugoio/hugo
brew install gohugoio/hugo/[email protected]
