Collections like posts and pages work as you'd expect. If you're new to them be sure to read [Jekyll's documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/collections/).
|
|
|
|
Minimal Mistakes has been built with collections in mind and you will find [several examples]({{ base_path }}/collection-archive/) on the demo site ([portfolio]({{ base_path }}/portfolio/), [recipes]({{ base_path }}/recipes/), pets).
|
|
|
|
**Collections in the Wild:** This set of documentation is also [built as a collection]({{ site.gh_repo }}/gh-pages/_docs/) if you're looking for a fully fleshed out example with custom sidebar navigation, next/previous pagination, and more.

A popular use case for collections is to build a portfolio section as part of a personal site. Let's quickly walk through the steps to do that.
|
|
|
|
**Step 1:** Configure the portfolio collection by adding the following to `_config.yml`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
collections:
|
|
portfolio:
|
|
output: true
|
|
permalink: /:collection/:path/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These settings essentially say output `index.html` files for each portfolio document in `_portfolio` at `_site/portfolio/<document-filename>/`.
|
|
|
|
Just like posts and pages you'll probably want to set some defaults for the Front Matter:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
defaults:
|
|
# _portfolio
|
|
- scope:
|
|
path: ""
|
|
type: portfolio
|
|
values:
|
|
layout: single
|
|
author_profile: false
|
|
share: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then create portfolio content like [`_portfolio/foo-bar-website.md`]({{ site.gh_repo }}/gh-pages/_portfolio/foo-bar-website.md), to end up with something like this.
