Overview

Jekyll Boilerplate is an effective starting point for developers looking to create a static site using Jekyll, a popular static site generator. It builds on the Jekyll Base framework by Daniel McGraw and provides a well-structured template that can help you efficiently set up your project. This boilerplate is particularly useful for those who appreciate simplicity and ease of customization while diving into the world of static site generation.

The Jekyll Boilerplate offers a structured approach that allows for seamless management of site configurations, layouts, and posts. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting, this boilerplate can enhance your workflow and help you bring your ideas to life without unnecessary complications.

Features

Structured Configuration: The _config.yml file is designated for all your Jekyll configuration options, allowing you to easily customize your site's behavior.
Layout Templates: The _layouts directory holds all the layout templates, including a default layout that organizes your HTML structure cleanly for better maintenance.
Post Management: With the _posts folder, you can easily manage your blog posts, using a specific naming convention that keeps your content organized and time-stamped properly.
Markdown Support: The boilerplate comes with a simple blog post template (e.g., 1970-01-01-placeholder-post.md) that uses markdown syntax, making it straightforward to create and format your content.
YAML Front Matter: Each post template contains YAML Front Matter, allowing you to define settings such as layout and title directly within the post files for enhanced customization.
Index Page Setup: The index.html file is designed to render the site's index, effectively looping through your posts within the selected layout.
Unmaintained Note: While this template is labeled as unmaintained, it offers a solid foundation that can be modified and adapted to suit your individual needs and preferences.
