Brief summary
This change allows users to download and install extended Hugo builds with deployment support enabled required to deploy to cloud providers such as AWS and GCP.
Problem statement
I've recently discovered Hugo and I stumbled upon this repo while I was building my deployment pipeline to push new builds to AWS infra. Unfortunately, the install Hugo action did not support the type of builds required to deploy to cloud providers, but it was relatively easy to implement. (see Hugo Quick start guide prerequisites)
I already use that argument in my own pipeline but I prefer to delete my fork and use the OG repo instead.
I'd love to help out a little and potentially save someone else some time that can be put towards building a website instead of reinventing CI/CD pipelines.
