@mertkahyaoglu @benbalter Did you guys get a chance to look into this?

[mertkahyaoglu]

Tested locally. It's looking great. Great job 👍
I'm going to make a full review soon.

@ashmaroli How about read some diretory from _config.yml, so i can specify my own config. Or even directory to the sub-folder. Look forward to your submission.

[ashmaroli]

@gengsa can you elaborate a little bit more.. with a small example?
Also, this feature is currently available via jekyll-manager if you want to give it a try..

[gengsa]

@ashmaroli I have tried your jekyll-manager. I want to specify my own static files base directory, like /images or /assets/images. And with some sub-directory, just like

/images/image1.png,
/images/foods/images2.png,
/images/foods/image3.png,

Maybe some other directory. Thank you very much.

[gengsa]

@ashmaroli Thanks for your jekyll-manager, it's what i want. Hope you merge into jekyll/jekyll-admin. Thanks very much.

[ashmaroli]

Many of the features in jekyll-manager are already under review for merge into Jekyll Admin..
Only a matter of time..

Any plan to merge this PR? It would be great.

[mertkahyaoglu]

Could merge this when conflicts are resolved.

[ashmaroli]

@mertkahyaoglu The conflicts are too complex for me to resolve. Will you be able to handle them..? Else, I shall close this..

[mertkahyaoglu]

@ashmaroli Ok. I take a look at it.
