Maximal

For Jekyll on GitHub Pages, you can safely use:

---
layout: post
title: "Your Post Title"
date: 2025-06-02
permalink: /your-url/
tags: [linux, systems, story]
categories: [personal, blog]
author: jackd
description: "Optional SEO description."
---

How do I make a page?

---
layout: page
title: "A page"
permalink: /page.html
---

This is honestly all you really need to make a page titled “A page”.

This will be available at yourname.github.io/page.html

Add to it in markdown format. The only thing that makes it a page is that it’s set to “layout:page” in that thingy at the top (“the frontmatter”)

or you can do permalink: /page/. Eazy. Peazy. Pumpkin pie.
