"Edit this page" Link

Shows an “Edit this page” button near the bottom of article pages, encouraging readers to propose fixes and improving content quality.

1. Site-wide configuration

Set repository info in hugo.toml:

[params.source]
  # Note: Enable/disable this feature.
  enabled = true

  # Note: Git hosting provider (github / gitlab / gitea / forgejo).
  provider = 'github'

  # Note: Repository URL (no trailing slash).
  repo = 'https://github.com/username/my-blog'

  # Note: Default branch, usually main or master.
  branch = 'main'

  # Note: Path prefix to your content in the repository (default: content).
  pathPrefix = 'content'

2. Per-page override

If some pages live in a different repository or branch, you can override any field in Front Matter:

---
source:
  # Note: Any of enabled, provider, repo, branch, or pathPrefix can be overridden per page.
  enabled: true
  provider: "gitea"
  repo: "https://gitea.example.com/other-repo"
  branch: "develop"
  pathPrefix: "docs"
---

When a field is omitted, it falls back to the site-wide params.source value.
