Using built-in Jekyll data

In the root folder of this repo, locate the jekyll-data.html file. In there you will learn how to:

• Access blog posts and related metadata
• Access pages and related metadata
• Access the _config.yml file

Using custom Jekyll data

Jekyll allows you to access data from CSV, TSV, JSON, and YAML (YML) files. In the root of this folder, ocate the custom-data.html file. In there, you will learn how to:

• Access data from a CSV file
• Access data from a TSV file
• Access data from a JSON file
• Access data from a YML file

In the root folder of this repo, locate the _data folder and you will find examples of each file type that the custom-data.html reads from.
