Jekyll allows you to concoct your sites in any way you can dream up, and it’s thanks to the powerful and flexible configuration options that this is possible. These options can either be specified in a `_config.yml` file placed in your site’s root directory, or can be specified as flags for the `jekyll` executable in the terminal.
## Configuration Settings
The table below lists the available settings for Jekyll, and the various <code class="option">options</code> (specifed in the configuration file) and <code class="flag">flags</code> (specified on the command-line) that control them.

## Default Configuration
Jekyll runs with the following configuration options by default. Unless alternative settings for these options are explicitly specified in the configuration file or on the command-line, Jekyll will run using these options.
