To better organize all of your pages you can centralize them into a single location similar to posts and collections.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 1:** Start by placing pages (`.md` or `.html` files) into a `_pages` directory. Meaningfully naming files should be the goal. Avoid patterns like `/about/index.md` as it makes distinguishing between multiple `index.md` files harder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sample-project
|
||
|
|
└── _pages/
|
||
|
|
├── 404.md # custom 404 page
|
||
|
|
├── about.md # about page
|
||
|
|
└── contact.md # contact page
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 2:** Include pages to be sure Jekyll "sees" and processes the files inside of `_pages`. Add `include: ["_pages"]` to `_config.yml`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 3:** Assign permalink overrides in the YAML Front Matter of each.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| filename | permalink |
|
||
|
|
| -------- | --------- |
|
||
|
|
| `_pages/about.md` | `permalink: /about/` |
|
||
|
|
| `_pages/home.md` | `permalink: /` |
|
||
|
|
| `_pages/contact.md` | `permalink: /contact/` |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Recommended Front Matter Defaults:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
defaults:
|
||
|
|
# _pages
|
||
|
|
- scope:
|
||
|
|
path: ""
|
||
|
|
type: pages
|
||
|
|
values:
|
||
|
|
layout: single
|
||
|
|
author_profile: true
|
||
|
|
```
