## hugo convert

Convert your content to different formats

### Synopsis

Convert your content files (front matter) to different formats.

See convert's subcommands toJSON, toTOML and toYAML for more information.

**Please Note:** This will convert front matter only. It does not convert theme and configuration files (e.g. config.toml, theme.toml). Those files will need to be manually changed to your preference.

### Options

```
  -h, --help            help for convert
  -o, --output string   filesystem path to write files to
  -s, --source string   filesystem path to read files relative from
      --unsafe          enable less safe operations, please backup first
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --config string      config file (default is path/config.yaml|json|toml)
      --configDir string   config dir (default "config")
      --debug              debug output
      --log                enable Logging
      --logFile string     log File path (if set, logging enabled automatically)
      --quiet              build in quiet mode
  -v, --verbose            verbose output
      --verboseLog         verbose logging
```
