Update

As requested by a large number of users over the years, you can now update Wowchemy directly from Github. See the TLDR section at https://wowchemy.com/docs/guide/update/

BREAKING CHANGES:

1. The Hugo module names have been renamed as required by Hugo's module versioning system. Learn about the new module names in the TLDR section at https://wowchemy.com/docs/guide/update/
2. Move gallery album folders to assets/media/albums/. Continue to choose the album name in the Gallery shortcode using the album option. Album names should be lowercase due to a Hugo bug: gohugoio/hugo#7686
