Jekyll Config Multiple Files

Question

As the doc mentions, we should be able to write:

jekyll build --config \"_config.yml, _config.en.yml\"

Instead, I receive:

Answer 1

It's a comma-separated list. You're separating it with a comma and a space.

Answer 2

For others coming here and not finding the answer they need:

It could also be that you are running the build script from another folder where the config files are (like a git post-receive hook)

In which case you'd need to do tweak the example scripts to include the $CONFIG as follow:

TMP_GIT_CLONE=$HOME/tmp_git/your_domain
GEMFILE=$TMP_GIT_CLONE/Gemfile  
PUBLIC_WWW=/var/www/html/your_domain
CONFIG=$TMP_GIT_CLONE/_config.yml,$TMP_GIT_CLONE/_config_dev.yml  
git clone $GIT_REPO $TMP_GIT_CLONE
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=$GEMFILE bundle install
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=$GEMFILE bundle exec jekyll build -s $TMP_GIT_CLONE -d $PUBLIC_WWW --config $CONFIG 

Answer 3

Remove the space after the coma.

jekyll build --config "_config.yml,_config.en.yml"
