Local post assets with Jekyll

Question

I was wondering how other people are organising their assets for individual posts when using Jekyll. For example, if a post has an image, do you just dump it in a shared images

Answer 1

This answer:

• Does not use plugins (works with GitHub Pages)
• Allows you to keep images directly next to their relevant posts
• Allows you to edit using Typora locally and see the images WYSIWYG

Just name your folders like _posts/2020-10-10-My-Title/ and include files like index.md and hero.svg or other images.

Then set your permalink: key in _config.yaml to :path.

Caveats:

• Your folder names must be sluggified
• Your images must all be SVG
