Jekyll uses the Minima theme by default, but this can easily be changed. For example, the Jekyll website you are currently on uses the domain name, so thatвЂ™s the url value used for this website. The url setting is what Jekyll uses to determine the domain name of your website. If your blog or website will be at, enter /blog as the baseurl.

For example, if your Jekyll website will be at, leave the baseurl blank. The baseurl setting is only used if your blog or website is not going to sit at the root of your domain name. twitter_username : jekyllrb github_username : jekyll # Build settings theme : minima plugins : - jekyll-feed Baseurl and Url blog url : ' ' # the base hostname & protocol for your site, e.g. baseurl : ' ' # the subpath of your site, e.g. It will appear in your document head meta (for Google search results) and in your feed.xml site description.
