How posting works in Jekyll

Every posts in Jekyll have to be saved in your _posts directory with the format:
YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.md YEAR (four digits), MONTH and DAY (two digits).
For example, "2022-01-03-how-to-post-jekyll.md" will be your post’s filename.
You can check this information from Jekyll website

  • Go to your github.io repository and click on “Add file” and “Create new file”.
  • Write _post/2022-01-03-title.md (year, month, day and title can be replaced) for the name of the file.

Another important thing is a Front Matter According to the website, “Any file that contains a YAML front matter block will be processed by Jekyll as a special file.”

For example, this YAML code is written at the very beginning of this post.

---
layout: single
title:  "How to Post on Github Blog"
categories: Github-Blog
tags: git TIL blog github jekyll githubpages
---

# You can follow this form if you want to use two words or more as a name of your category or tags. 
---
layout: single
title:  "Data Structures - What is it?"
categories: 
    - Data Structures
tags: 
    - [TIL, Big-O, Algorithms, Data Structures]

More things can be written between those two --- lines. You can read more about what you can set up for your post using Front Matter here

  • Now, add the Front Matter at the beginning of your post.
  • Write whatever you would like after the Front Matter and Click “Commit new file” at the bottom of the page.
