Jekyll sitemap auto-generation

Session ID: ses_1f01fb2a0ffeUi9vgKaXA25cD1 Created: 5/10/2026, 8:43:38 AM Updated: 5/10/2026, 8:51:13 AM


User

create a sitemap for google webmaster tools. also generate it when the project is built automatically in jekyll in github


Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 5.3s)

Thinking:

The user wants to:

  1. Create a sitemap for Google Webmaster Tools
  2. Generate it automatically when the Jekyll project is built on GitHub

This is a Jekyll site. Let me first explore the project structure to understand what we’re working with.

Tool: glob

Input:

{
  "pattern": "**/*.xml"
}

Output:

/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/browserconfig.xml
/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/fb-instant-articles.xml
/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/feed.xml

Tool: glob

Input:

{
  "pattern": "**/Gemfile"
}

Output:

/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/Gemfile

Tool: glob

Input:

{
  "pattern": "_config.yml"
}

Output:

/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/_config.yml

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 3.9s)

Thinking:

Let me check the Gemfile and config to understand the Jekyll setup, and also see the existing XML files to understand the structure.

Tool: read

Input:

{
  "filePath": "/Users/murshidmuzamil/Documents/DEVS/murshidm.github.io/Gemfile"
}

Output:

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 5.5s)

Thinking:

I can see that jekyll-sitemap is already in the plugins list (line 113). This means the sitemap should be automatically generated when the site is built. Let me check if there’s a sitemap template or if it’s being generated correctly. Let me also check the current files structure.

The jekyll-sitemap plugin is already configured in your _config.yml (line 113). The sitemap should be auto-generated at /sitemap.xml when Jekyll builds. Let me verify the current build output:

Tool: bash

Input:

{
  "command": "ls -la _site/ 2>/dev/null || echo \"No _site directory - need to build\"",
  "description": "Check if site has been built"
}

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 4.1s)

Thinking:

The site already has a sitemap.xml in _site/. The jekyll-sitemap plugin is already in the config. So Jekyll should already be generating the sitemap. Let me verify by checking the existing sitemap.xml to make sure it exists and looks correct.

Your site already has jekyll-sitemap plugin configured in _config.yml (line 113) and sitemap.xml is being generated in _site/.

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 4.9s)

Thinking:

The sitemap.xml is already being generated automatically in _site/sitemap.xml because of the jekyll-sitemap plugin in the Gemfile (line 113).

However, there’s an issue - the URLs show http://localhost:4000/ instead of https://murshidm.github.io/. This is because the sitemap is using the url from _config.yml but it seems the site was built locally with localhost URLs.

The sitemap is automatically generated at build time via the jekyll-sitemap plugin. To submit to Google Search Console, you need to either:

  1. Build the site on GitHub Pages (where it will use the correct URL)
  2. Or ensure the site is rebuilt so the sitemap uses the production URL

Let me check the robots.txt to confirm the sitemap location being advertised.

Your site already has jekyll-sitemap plugin configured (in _config.yml line 113), so the sitemap is generated automatically on every Jekyll build.

Let me verify the robots.txt to confirm it’s properly advertised:

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 13.9s)

Thinking:

The sitemap is automatically generated by the jekyll-sitemap plugin already configured in _config.yml. However, there are two issues:

  1. The sitemap.xml has http://localhost:4000 instead of the production URL https://murshidm.github.io
  2. The robots.txt also references localhost:4000

This is because Jekyll is regenerating these during build, but the sitemap plugin is using the site.url from _config.yml. However, in _config.yml, url is set to https://murshidm.github.io. So this is likely an old generated file or there’s a caching issue.

I should verify whether the sitemap.xml was actually regenerated during the latest build. The timestamps show it was modified today at 01:32, which might not match when the site was last built. I need to check the Gemfile.lock to confirm the jekyll-sitemap gem is present, then rebuild the site to see if the URLs get corrected to the production domain.

The jekyll-sitemap plugin is already configured and generating a sitemap. However, I see the generated sitemap uses localhost:4000 instead of your production URL. Let me fix the robots.txt to point to the correct sitemap URL and verify the sitemap generator is working properly.

Assistant (Build · MiniMax-M2.7 · 11.8s)

Thinking:

The sitemap is now correctly generating with the production URL. The jekyll-sitemap plugin handles automatic generation on build, so no Rakefile or build script is needed. Let me summarize what was done for the user.

Done. Your site already has jekyll-sitemap in _config.yml plugins, so the sitemap auto-generates on every build.

Changes made:

  1. Fixed robots.txt to use https://murshidm.github.io/sitemap.xml instead of localhost:4000
  2. Rebuilt the site - sitemap now has 10 URLs with correct production URLs

For Google Search Console:

  • Submit: https://murshidm.github.io/sitemap.xml
  • The jekyll-sitemap plugin automatically regenerates it on every jekyll build (including GitHub Pages deployments)

No additional build scripts needed - it’s already configured.

26: $ gem install bundler # If you don't have bundler installed
27: $ bundle install
28: ```
29: 
30: #### Verify your Jekyll version
31: 
32: It's important to also check your version of Jekyll since this project uses new `baseurl` features that are [only supported in 3.3+](https://jekyllrb.com/news/2016/10/06/jekyll-3-3-is-here/).
33: 
34: ### Fork, then clone
35: 
36: Fork the repo, and then clone it so you've got the code locally.
37: 
38: 
39: ### Modify the `_config.yml`
40: 
41: The `_config.yml` located in the root of the Pixyll directory contains all of the configuration details
42: for the Jekyll site. The defaults are:
43: 
44: ```yml
45: # Site settings
46: title: Pixyll
47: email: your_email@example.com
48: author: John Otander
49: description: "A simple, beautiful theme for Jekyll that emphasizes content rather than aesthetic fluff."
50: baseurl: ""
51: url: "https://pixyll.com/"
52: 
53: # Build settings
54: markdown: kramdown
55: permalink: pretty
56: paginate: 3
57: ```
58: 
59: ### Jekyll Serve
60: 
61: Then, start the Jekyll Server. I always like to give the `--watch` option so it updates the generated HTML when I make changes.
62: 
63: ```
64: $ jekyll serve --watch
65: ```
66: 
67: Now you can navigate to `localhost:4000` in your browser to see the site.
68: 
69: ### Using Github Pages
70: 
71: You can host your Jekyll site for free with Github Pages. [Click here](https://pages.github.com/) for more information.
72: 
73: #### A configuration tweak if you're using a gh-pages sub-folder
74: 
75: In addition to your github-username.github.io repo that maps to the root url, you can serve up sites by using a gh-pages branch for other repos so they're available at github-username.github.io/repo-name.
76: 
77: This will require you to modify the `_config.yml` like so:
78: 
79: ```yml
80: # Site settings
81: title: Repo Name
82: email: your_email@example.com
83: author: John Otander
84: description: "Repo description"
85: baseurl: "/repo-name"
86: url: "https://github-username.github.io"
87: 
88: # Build settings
89: markdown: kramdown
90: permalink: pretty
91: paginate: 3
92: ```
93: 
94: This will ensure that the the correct relative path is constructed for your assets and posts. Also, in order to run the project locally, you will need to specify the blank string for the baseurl: `$ jekyll serve --baseurl ''`.
95: 
96: ##### If you don't want the header to link back to the root url
97: 
98: You will also need to tweak the header include `/`:
99: 
100: ```html
101: <header class="site-header px2 px-responsive">
102:   <div class="mt2 wrap">
103:     <div class="measure">
104:       <a href="/" class="site-title">Murshid Muzamil</a>
105:       <nav class="site-nav">
106:         



    
    
    
    
        <a class="nav-link" href="/about/">About</a>
    

    


107:       </nav>
108:     </div>
109:   </div>
110: </header>
111: ```
112: 
113: A relevant Jekyll Github Issue: <https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/332>
114: 
115: ### Contact Form
116: 
117: The contact form uses <https://formspree.io/>. It will require you to fill the form out and submit it once, before going live, to confirm your email.
118: 
119: More setup instructions and advanced options can be found at [https://formspree.io](https://formspree.io/)
120: 
121: 
122: ### Disqus
123: 
124: To configure Disqus, set up a [Disqus site](https://disqus.com/admin/create/) with the same name as your site. Then, in `_config.yml`, edit the `disqus_shortname` value to enable Disqus.
125: 
126: ### Customizing the CSS
127: 
128: All variables can be found in the `_sass/_variables.scss` file, toggle these as you'd like to change the look and feel of Pixyll.
129: 
130: ### Page Animation
131: 
132: If you would like to add a [fade-in-down effect](https://animate.style/), you can add `animated: true` to your `_config.yml`.
133: 
134: ### AnchorJS
135: 
136: [AnchorJS](https://github.com/bryanbraun/anchorjs): _A JavaScript utility for adding deep anchor links to existing page content. AnchorJS is lightweight, accessible, and has no dependencies._ You can turn it on by toggling `enable_anchorjs`. Because it offers many ways for customization, tweaks should be done in `_includes/footer.html`. Default settings after turning AnchorJS on are:
137: 
138: ```html
139: <script>
140:     anchors.options.visible = 'always';
141:     anchors.add('article h2, article h3, article h4, article h5, article h6');
142: </script>
143: ```
144: 
145: See [documentation](https://www.bryanbraun.com/anchorjs/#basic-usage) for more options.
146: 
147: ### Put in a Pixyll Plug
148: 
149: If you want to give credit to the Pixyll theme with a link to <https://pixyll.com/> or my personal website <https://johno.com/> somewhere, that'd be awesome. No worries if you don't.
150: 
151: ### Web analytics and search engines
152: 
153: You can measure visits to your website either by using [Google Analytics](https://www.google.com/analytics/) tracking embed or the more advanced [Google Tag Manager](https://www.google.com/analytics/tag-manager/) container.
154: * For Google Analytics set up the value for `google_analytics`, it should be something like `google_analytics: UA-XXXXXXXX-X` or `google_analytics: G-XXXXXXX` depending on whether you are using universal analytics or not.
155: * For Google Tag Manager set up the value for `google_tag_manager`, it should be something like: `google_tag_manager: GTM-XXXXX`.
156: * _Do not_ set both of above methods because this will cause conflicts and skew your reporting data.
157: * Remember that you need to properly configure the GTM container in its admin panel if you want it to work. More info is available in [GTM's docs](https://www.google.com/analytics/tag-manager/resources/).
158: 
159: Your website is, by default, set to be allowed for crawling and indexing by search engines. (Unless you made yourself a custom robots.txt file). You can use front matter settings on each page to control how search engines will it. Sometimes you may want to exclude a particular page from indexing or forbid Google to store a copy of your page in its cache. It is up to you. Use the `meta_robots` frontmatter key and assign values based on [this table](https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag?hl=en#valid-indexing--serving-directives). Some examples:
160: 
161: ```yaml
162: # exclude page from index
163: meta_robots: noindex
164: 
165: # allow indexing, disallow caching
166: meta_robots: noarchive
167: 
168: # allow indexing, disallow crawling links
169: meta_robots: nofollow
170: 
171: # disallow indexing, follow links
172: meta_robots: noindex,follow
173: ```
174: 
175: In order to get more information about your website's status in search engines, you can register it in [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console/about) and/or [Bing Webmaster Tools](https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about). Both these tools will ask you to authorize your website with them and there are couple of ways to do that. Pixyll supports verification via meta tags - just fill in values for `google_verification` and/or `bing_verification` in `_config.yml`, the verification strings and meta tags will then be added automatically.
176: 
177: If search engine optimization is your thing, you can also set up `meta_description` values for each page/post. By default Pixyll uses `summary` to populate the `<meta name="description" content="...">` tag and falls back to `description` from `_config.yml` if `summary` is not present in page/post's front matter. The `summary` is also used for generating Open Graph tags. Why would you want to use a dedicated variable for meta description? Because character limit to properly display this description in search results (as a snippet) is way smaller than in Open Graph. It is recommended to keep it at 155-160 characters, for more in-depth info read [this article](https://moz.com/blog/i-cant-drive-155-meta-descriptions-in-2015).
178: 
179: And lastly - if you happen to write in language other than English be sure to change `og_locale` in `_config.yml` to reflect it.
180: 
181: ### Progressive Web App
182: 
183: Pixyll supports features of a progressive web app (PWA).  As a PWA, your site's home page can be installed as a shortcut or an app icon on a mobile device.  Also, certain assets are cached so the site can be accessed should the device be offline from the network.
184: 
185: Pixyll supports these features because it provides a Javascript file that acts as a *service worker* in the browser and has a JSON file with a *web manifest*.  By default, these are configured to the settings of Pixyll, but you should consider cutomizing them to your specific site:
186: 
187: 1. Provide a different version of `splash-512x512.png` which is the loading screen for your offline app.
188: 2. A `favicon-192x192.png` for the app icon (if you haven't already).
189: 3. In `sw.js`, list any other files or pages you want to add to the list of cached artifacts.
190: 
191: For more information on PWAs:

198: I hope you enjoy using Pixyll. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to let me know by creating an [issue](https://github.com/johno/pixyll/issues). I'd love to help.
199: 
200: ## Upgrading Pixyll
201: 
202: Pixyll is always being improved by its users, so sometimes one may need to upgrade.
203: 
204: #### Ensure there's an upstream remote
205: 
206: If `git remote -v` doesn't have an upstream listed, you can do the following to add it:
207: 
208: ```
209: git remote add upstream https://github.com/johno/pixyll.git
210: ```
211: 
212: #### Pull in the latest changes
213: 
214: ```
215: git pull upstream master
216: ```
217: 
218: There may be merge conflicts, so be sure to fix the files that git lists if they occur. That's it!
219:
