Updating PaperMod to the latest and greatest

This post is more of a note to self.

PaperMod Update

So last week, after a very long time, I actually spent some time doing some housekeeping on this blog. I decided to check Hugo versions and what’s new on paperMod. Found that there were many new things. Pulled in the latest and built the site only to realize it broke!

How did you get the latest version?

git submodule update --recursive --remote

So some of the features introduced in the latest version of PaperMod weren’t supported in the version of Hugo that I had running, which was v0.109.0. I am not aware of what features exactly, so can’t really tell you. I didn’t have the time to explore.
