`hugo.CommitHash`
: (`string`) The Git commit hash of the Hugo binary (e.g., `0a95d6704a8ac8d41cc5ca8fffaad8c5c7a3754a`).

`hugo.Deps`
: (`[]*hugo.Dependency`) See [hugo.Deps](#hugodeps).

`hugo.Environment`

`hugo.GoVersion`
: (`string`) The Go version used to compile the Hugo binary (e.g., `go1.20.4`). {{< new-in "0.101.0" >}}

`hugo.IsExtended`

`hugo.IsProduction`

`hugo.Deps` returns a list of dependencies for a project (either Hugo Modules or local theme components).

Each dependency contains:

Owner
: (`*hugo.Dependency`) In the dependency tree, this is the first module that defines this module as a dependency (e.g., `github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-bootstrap-scss/v5`).

Path
: (`string`) The module path or the path below your `themes` directory (e.g., `github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-jslibs-dist/popperjs/v2`).

Replace
: (`*hugo.Dependency`) Replaced by this dependency.

Time
: (`time.Time`) The time that the version was created (e.g., `2022-02-13 15:11:28 +0000 UTC`).

Vendor
: (`bool`) Returns `true` if the dependency is vendored.

Version
: (`string`) The module version (e.g., `v2.21100.20000`).

An example table listing the dependencies:
