Jekyll Filename Without Date

Question

I want to build documentation site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages. The problem is Jekyll only accept a filename under _posts with exact pattern like YYYY-MM-DD

Answer 1

I guess that you are annoyed with the post url http://domaine.tld/category/2014/11/22/post.html.

You cannot bypass the filename pattern for posts, but you can use permalink (see documentation).

_posts/2014-11-22-other-post.md

---
title:  "Other post"
date:   2014-11-22 09:49:00
permalink: anything-you-want
---

File will be anything-you-want/index.html.

Url will be http://domaine.tld/anything-you-want.
