The -t / --theme flags were removed from hugo new

The -t / --theme flags were removed from hugo new (also absent in hugo new content): gohugoio/hugoDocs@fb3027d#diff-9b75f7a964edc681f1e213d44f1ec7a3d4f5f1678c25f45c78cb238cb2ca052cL62 Was that intentional? If yes, how to create new content using an archetype (--kind) in a specific theme? Thanks!

This is a bug, and I apologise. This was a massive Hugo upgrade on the technical side that we needed to do sooner rather than later, and I guess we (or at least I) was a little tired of it at the end and just wanted to get it out.

Okay, no worries! It's good to know that this change was not intentional. Thank you very much!

how to create new content using an archetype

hugo new content --theme mytheme posts/post-1.md
hugo new content -t mytheme posts/post-1.md

The --theme / -t flag has no effect if you have an archetype in your project folder (as expected, same behavior as < v0.112.0).
