2 years ago And beyond my use case, its just non-obvious that empty directories in archetype page bundles will not be copied.
Similar to other similar tools, Hugo care about files, not so much directories. Your empty directories will not be included if you push it to Git and similar. We may fix this, but I would suggest that you fill all your archetype directories with some sample files (even an empty .gitkeep or similar).

2 years ago Thanks for the time to respond, Bjorn. Indeed, my workaround is to put a readme.txt into the directory so now it is not empty. If I get fancy I can make a little shell script to do the whole three step workaround I need:
a) make the new page bundle from the archetype b) rm the readme.txt from my page bundle c) cp a directory of images from elsewhere into the empty images directory in my page bundle

What version of Hugo are you using (
hugo version)?For a gallery type page, I would like my page bundle to have the structure
page /
correspondingly, I made an archetype with this structure
gallery /
I then use the command: hugo new --kind gallery my-path
This works partially -- it makes a new page bundle with the index.md file. However, if the archetype directory "images" is empty, then no directory named "images" is created in the page bundle. Conversely, if I put something like readme.txt into images in the archetype, then the new page bundle that is created does have the images directory as well as the readme.txt file it contains.
I would like to be able to have an archetype with an empty directory inside, because there is no default image that I want in my gallery. And beyond my use case, its just non-obvious that empty directories in archetype page bundles will not be copied.
