default favicon

I noticed that a default favicon (a letter "H" with a pink background) would be generated
and placed inside folder public each time I run hugo locally.
I inspected all the config files and could not see where this default behaviour originated.
Is there anyway to override this default favicon and use my own?

I have tried the following to use customized favicons, with no success:

  • generate favicon using https://realfavicongenerator.net
  • place favicon.png inside static/favicon/
  • modify head.html by adding <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon/favicon.png">

Thank you!

The default favicon lives at https://github.com/zwbetz-gh/make-a-hugo-blog-from-scratch/blob/master/static/favicon.ico

To change it, just put a new file there with the same name.
