Hi team,
I’m trying to deploy my first site using Hugo + Netlify, but I have the problem that when building, Netlify can’t find the directory of my theme used.
If I trigger a deploy directly by pushing to GitHub, it seems to work and the application is deployed, but I’ve seen that it’s not my exact configuration as I have modified some things of the theme to customize it.
I think that the problem is that when cloning my repo, the repo of the theme is not being cloned, but previously I have added it as a git submodule, so I’m empty of ideas…
He is the full log:

Welcome to the forums @Pitenager
This is only a guess (I cannot see your git repository) but it is possible the commit of the theme you have linked to in your git submodule does not exist.
Hi coelmay,
Thank you for your fast answer.
If you want, I can grant you temporal access to the repo to help me, just need your GitHub username
But I think that it exists, as if I visit de theme on my repo it follows the Link to the original one
Ok, that kind of discounts my original thought. The path (/opt/build/repo/themes/LoveIt
) is correct, an is the correct case (e.g isn’t /opt/build/repo/themes/loveit
or /opt/build/repo/Themes/LoveIt
)?
That’s the output in my local:
/Users/admin/pitesite/themes/LoveIt
But this is how it is uploaded to GitHub:
You have 2 options:
- Clone the repos so they actually exist in your repo.
- Add a build step in Netlify like:
git submodule update --recursive && hugo
Also, you’re running hugo server
which is unsupported on Netlify as it starts a live server. Use only hugo
.
Okay, that makes sense…
But, as I have some modifications on the original LoveIt theme, the 2nd option is not valid, right ? As it just takes the original one without my changes
Ops, true, I’ve tried hugo server
and other stuff, but it’s already changed in my Netlify’s config.
Edit: I’ve tried with git submodule update --recursive && hugo
and this is the result:

Hi @Pitenager,
Yes, option 2 won’t be valid in that case. You’d have to commit that repo’s files to your repo then.
Okay, gonna try the following:
1- git clone my repo
2- remove themes
directory
3- remove public
directory
4- git clone LoveIt
repo
5- Change the original files with the customized ones (I have backup)
6- run hugo
and upload the project to GitHub
7- try another deploy
I’ll update the post with the results
Edit: No way same error…

Okay I think I’ve reached the solution !!
Steps:
- Delete LoveIt directory:
sudo rm -r themes/LoveIt
- Delete public directory:
sudo rm -r public/
- Clone the LoveIt’s repository in the themes/ directory:
git clone https://github.com/dillonzq/LoveIt.git
- Change the default’s files of the theme with my own customized ones
- Remove ALL git files from the theme directory (.git, .gitignore and .github)
- Commit the changes to my repo
- Push to my repo
- Trigger another deploy
And that’s the result: https://pitenager.netlify.app
Thank you everyone !
