Overview:

The Jekyll RSS Feed Templates is a collection of Liquid templates that can be used to render RSS feeds for a Jekyll blog. The templates provide four different types of feeds – feed.xml, feed.category.xml, feed.links.xml, and feed.articles.xml. By customizing the _config.yml file, users can easily set the title, description, and URL for their site in the feed templates. The templates also come with an empty YAML Front Matter block, which is required for Jekyll to process the Liquid code. The feeds can be validated using the W3C Validator, and users can also ensure that the RSS feeds are discoverable by browsers and bots by adding proper link tags to their Jekyll layout files. Additionally, there is a sister project called jekyll-json-feeds for users who are interested in JSON feed templates for their Jekyll blog.
