2.2 Site wide variables

Daniel Pett edited this page Dec 19, 2018 · 2 revisions

Jekyll uses something called front matter to set site characteristics such as:

  • Language in use
  • Site title
  • Twitter username
  • Site logo

These are all contained in the _config.yml file. So if you wanted to change the title for the site, you would edit this file and then change the title variable. This uses a format called YAML and is very strict to use.

You generally won't change these variables.
