Auto-generating category files #9

Open josephpconley opened 7 years ago

josephpconley commented 7 years ago

Hi, have you found a way to auto-generate the content in the _my_tags and _my_categories folders? As long as it works locally the same effect could be achieved as the files would be committed to source code and Github Pages is none the wiser. I'm new to Ruby/Jekyll so I'm not sure where to start, I get the sense that the plugin examples I've seen generate content in _site, which isn't what we want.

Thanks!

I'm wondering if it's possible to write a Ruby plugin which inspects all of my posts, generates a set of all of the tags used in those posts, and then create the appropriate slug files under the _my_tags directory. This way, when I write new posts that have new tags, the plugin would capture that automatically.
