# Hugo Archetypes
Archetypes in Hugo are templates for different content types. Among other things, they allow you to configure frontmatter for whatever content type. They are found in either the top-level `archetypes` directory of your project, or if you're using a theme, in `themes/your-theme/archetypes` and their the name is the content type + `.md`, like `posts.md`.
Then, when you run `hugo new posts/new-post/new.md`, the appropriate folder and file will be made with initial content from the matching archetype file.
