- name: Site source description: Change the directory where Jekyll will read files option: "source: DIR" flag: -s, --source DIR - name: Site destination description: Change the directory where Jekyll will write files option: "destination: DIR" flag: -d, --destination DIR - name: Safe description: >- Disable non-whitelisted plugins, caching to disk, and ignore symbolic links. option: "safe: BOOL" flag: --safe - name: Disable disk cache version-badge: 4.1.0 description: >- Disable caching of content to disk in order to skip creating a .jekyll-cache or similar directory at the source to avoid interference with virtual environments and third-party directory watchers. Caching to disk is always disabled in safe mode. option: "disable_disk_cache: BOOL" flag: --disable-disk-cache - name: Ignore theme configuration version-badge: 4.1.0 description: >- Jekyll 4.0 started allowing themes to bundle a _config.yml to simplify theme-onboarding for new users. In the unfortunate situation that importing a bundled theme configuration messes up the merged site-configuration, the user can configure Jekyll to not import the theme-config entirely. option: "ignore_theme_config: BOOL" - name: Exclude description: >- Exclude directories and/or files from the conversion. These exclusions are relative to the site's source directory and cannot be outside the source directory.
This configuration option supports Ruby's File.fnmatch filename globbing patterns to match multiple entries to exclude. For example, you can exclude multiple README.md files in your source tree from being included in your site by specifying the following exclude option entries: ["README.md", "**/README.md"].
In Jekyll 3, the exclude configuration option replaces the default exclusion list.
In Jekyll 4, user-provided entries get added to the default exclusion list instead and the include option can be used to override the default exclusion list entries.
The default exclusions are found in _config.yml as created by jekyll new: option: "exclude: [DIR, FILE, ...]" - name: Include description: >- Force inclusion of directories and/or files in the conversion. .htaccess is a good example since dotfiles are excluded by default.
This configuration option supports Ruby's File.fnmatch filename globbing patterns to match multiple entries to include, refer the exclude configuration option for more information.
With Jekyll 4, the include configuration option entries override the exclude option entries. option: "include: [DIR, FILE, ...]" - name: Keep files description: >- When clobbering the site destination, keep the selected files. Useful for files that are not generated by jekyll; e.g. files or assets that are generated by your build tool. The paths are relative to the destination. option: "keep_files: [DIR, FILE, ...]" - name: Time zone description: >- Set the time zone for site generation. This sets the TZ environment variable, which Ruby uses to handle time and date creation and manipulation. Any entry from the IANA Time Zone Database is valid, e.g. America/New_York. A list of all available values can be found here. When serving on a local machine, the default time zone is set by your operating system. But when served on a remote host/server, the default time zone depends on the server's setting or location. option: "timezone: TIMEZONE" - name: Encoding description: >- Set the encoding of files by name (only available for Ruby 1.9 or later). The default value is utf-8 starting in 2.0.0, and nil before 2.0.0, which will yield the Ruby default of ASCII-8BIT. Available encodings can be shown by the command ruby -e 'puts Encoding::list.join("\n")'. option: "encoding: ENCODING"
