JekyllToHugo

Overview

If you’re looking to transition from Jekyll to Hugo, the Jekyll To Hugo script offers a handy solution. This simple Python-based tool is designed for users who want to convert their Jekyll posts to Hugo format effortlessly. While it's primarily tested on Debian with Python 2.7, it demonstrates significant versatility across various Unix-like systems and even Windows, making it a useful resource for site migrations.

However, potential users should be mindful of its limitations. Currently, this script does not handle static resources such as images and scripts automatically, requiring manual adjustment post-conversion. Additionally, it only supports basic Jekyll features, specifically handling the {% Highlighting %} syntax for conversion.
