I have been moving my blog to Hugo over the holiday weekend. I am working in a Cloud9 instance. Cloud9 allows you to preview an application running in the Cloud9 instance by proxying the connection through the Cloud9 service. The URL for the proxy uses the following format. https://CLOUD9_ENV_ID.vfs.cloud9.AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/ The problem is that Hugo renders fully qualified URLs that include the baseURL found in the config file. I could update the config file, but I know I am going to accidentally check it in that way.
