OPTIONS
There are some general flags to control Jekyll's behavior.

This can also be set in _config.yml via the source: option. -d, --destination [DIR] Destination directory (defaults to ./_site). This can also be set in _config.yml via the destination: option. -p, --plugins PLUGINS_DIR1[,PLUGINS_DIR2[,...]] Plugins directory (defaults to ./_plugins). --safe Safe mode (defaults to false). This disables custom plugins, and ignores links. This can also be set in _config.yml via the safe: option. --layouts DIR Layouts directory (defaults to ./_layouts). --profile Generate a Liquid rendering profile. -h, --help Show the help output. -v, --version Print the name and version -t, --trace Show the full backtrace when an error occurs.
FILES
_config.yml The main configuration is done by default in the file _config.yml. This file can control both Jekyll's behavior (see OPTIONS) and site/theme configuration variables. If the configuration shall be split or a non-default file shall be used one can use the --config switch to define all configuration files. See <https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/options/> and <‐ https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/default/>.
ENVIRONMENT
JEKYLL_ENV This environment variable defaults to development and can be checked during build via conditional statements to influence the output for example. It usually only affects the build and serve commands. The other well known value is production, but really any value can be assigned. See <https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/environments/>.
