如何设置 twitter 和 github 用户名 Jekyll

Question

So I'm exploring what we can do through github hosting static website service. However, I could'nt find an explanation why in the _config.yml file, the setting twitter_username and github_username aren't rendering nor working.

This is my _config.yml file:

title: Hacker theme
description: This is Bilal MAJJAD personal page
show_downloads: false
google_analytics: G-QTNDKBBZ67
theme: jekyll-theme-hacker
twitter_username: byhlel
github_username: byhlel

My guess is that it's not supported by the Hacker theme of Jekyll or maybe I need to import something else?

source code ( https://github.com/byhlel/page/blob/main/_config.yml ).

Answer 1

It's not supported/in the code, see https://github.com/pages-themes/hacker - you'd need to access the variable from the somewhere, eg the layout.

See https://jekyllrb.com/docs/variables :

Example:

<div>https://twitter.com/{{ site.twitter_username}}</div>

Not sure if this is the correct URL to a profile though.
