Answer 1

Now there is an official plugin available for this. jekyll-archives.

In order to make use of it,

Add jekyll-archives to your Gemfile and _config.yml file.

add a configuration something similar to the below as per your need.

jekyll-archives:
  enabled: all
  layouts:
    year: archive/year
    month: archive/month
    day: archive/day
    tag: archive/tag
    category: archive/category
  permalinks:
    year: '/:year/'
    month: '/:year/:month/'
    day: '/:year/:month/:day/'
    tag: '/tags/:name/'
    category: '/category/:name/'

The layouts can make use of the following page attributes depending on the archive type.

• page.type - (Any one fo the following. year, month, day, tag, category)
• page.title - (Only available for the type tag and category. Nil otherwise.)
• page.date - (Depending on page.type you should parse out the date and month field )
• page.posts - (List of posts for this archive)

Here is a sample layout for archive based on years

Archive of posts from {{ page.date | date: "%Y" }}

{% for post in page.posts %}
  

    {{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}
    {{ post.title }}
  
{% endfor %}
