Jekyll Pages Directory

Overview

Managing static pages in Jekyll can become unwieldy, especially when your project grows beyond a few simple files. The Jekyll Pages Directory Plugin addresses this issue by allowing users to define a dedicated _pages directory for all page files, which significantly tidies up the project structure. Instead of having pages scattered throughout the project root, this plugin enables a more organized setup that enhances efficiency.

With this plugin, it’s easy to configure and maintain your project's pages, ensuring a cleaner output routing while keeping important files neatly contained. Whether you're a seasoned Jekyll user or just starting, this plugin could greatly simplify your workflow.
