Contains site navigational links through a Jekyll data file.
To better organize all of your pages you can centralize them into a single location similar to posts and collections.
Step 1: Start by placing pages (.md or .html files) into a _pages directory. Meaningfully naming files should be the goal. Avoid patterns like /about/index.md as it makes distinguishing between multiple index.md files harder.
sample-project └── _pages/ ├── 404.md # custom 404 page ├── about.md # about page └── contact.md # contact page
Step 2: Include pages to be sure Jekyll “sees” and processes the files inside of _pages. Add include: [“_pages”] to _config.yml.
Step 3: Assign permalink overrides in the YAML Front Matter of each.
Examples:
filename permalink
_pages/about.md permalink: /about/
_pages/home.md permalink: /
_pages/contact.md permalink: /contact/
Posts: front matter in /pages/year-archive.md
Tags: front matter in /pages/tag-archive.md
