Enabling archives and tagging on github pages
When deploying a blog on GitHub Pages you might want to add archives so that visitors are able to get a quick overview on the topics and subjects covered.
But GH Pages is limited to the default dependencies, which does not include jekyll-archives which solves this problem. The other alternative may be to build locally and deploy on GH but evidence seems light that this works - while being worth the effort.
Something similar can be accomplished with some custom JS.
Pre:
- Deploying with Github Pages
- Building with jekyll
- Styling with jekyll-minima theme
Steps:
- Create archives.html in root folder
- Make sure post font matter has “tags: … “
- [Optional] Create a custom layout in _layouts
