Hugo reads its configuration from `hugo.yaml` in the root of your Hugo site.
The config file is where you can configure all aspects of your site.
You can find the config file for this site in `exampleSite/hugo.yaml` as a good starting point.
## Navigation
### Menu
Top right menu is defined under the `menu.main` section in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
menu:
main:
- name: Documentation
pageRef: /docs
weight: 1
- name: Blog
pageRef: /blog
weight: 2
- name: About
pageRef: /about
weight: 3
- name: Search
weight: 4
params:
type: search
placeholder: Search Hextra docs...
- name: GitHub
weight: 5
url: "https://github.com/imfing/hextra"
params:
icon: github
```
There are different types of menu items:
1. Link to a page in the site with `pageRef`
```yaml
- name: Documentation
pageRef: /docs
```
2. Link to an external URL with `url`
```yaml
- name: GitHub
url: "https://github.com"
```
3. Search bar with `type: search`
```yaml
- name: Search
params:
type: search
placeholder: Search Hextra docs...
```
4. Icon
```yaml
- name: GitHub
params:
icon: github
```
These menu items can be sorted by setting the `weight` parameter.

### Table of Contents

```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
toc: false
---
```
### Page Edit Link
To configure the page edit link, we can set the `params.editURL.base` parameter in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
editURL:
base: "https://github.com/your-username/your-repo/edit/main"
```
The edit links will be automatically generated for each page.
If you want to set edit link for a specific page, you can set the `params.editURL` parameter in the front matter of the page:
```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
params:
editURL: "https://example.com/edit/this/page"
---
```
