Working with Jekyll Data Part 2: Built-in data
Working with Jekyll Data, Part 2
The three primary built-in Jekyll data elements you can programmatically access are posts (blog posts), pages (markdown or html), and the _config.yml file. In this video, I get you started working with that out-of-box data.
Jekyll uses a highly intuitive programming language called Liquid to access data, so I recommend you bookmark the docs from that site (it was developed by Shopify):
https://shopify.github.io/liquid/
The Jekyll Docs are a valuable resource to lean more about using Jekyll-specific data:
