Why Utterances

Utterances is a comment system based on GitHub Issues. Compared with similar tools (such as Gitment/Gitalk/Disqus), common advantages are:

• lightweight and fast
• simple setup
• comments are stored in GitHub Issues, easy to manage in open projects

Installation Steps

1. Prepare a GitHub account and repository. Comments will be stored as issues in that repository.

2. Install the Utterances GitHub App: https://github.com/apps/utterances

Install the app and grant access to the target repository.

3. Add config in Hugo config.toml:

[params.utteranc]
    enable = true
    repo = "github_user/repository"
    issueTerm = "pathname"
