A Jekyll plugin that provides users with a traditional CMS-style graphical interface to author content and administer Jekyll sites. The project is divided into two parts. A Ruby-based HTTP API that handles Jekyll and filesystem operations, and a JavaScript-based front end, built on that API.

Refer to the installing plugins section of Jekyll's documentation and install the jekyll-admin plugin as you would any other plugin. Here's the short version:

1. Add the following to your site's Gemfile:

   gem 'jekyll-admin', group: :jekyll_plugins

2. Run bundle install

1. Start Jekyll as you would normally (bundle exec jekyll serve)
2. Navigate to http://localhost:4000/admin to access the administrative interface

Jekyll Admin related options can be specified in _config.yml under a key called jekyll_admin.

jekyll_admin:
  hidden_links:
    - posts
    - pages
    - staticfiles
    - datafiles
    - configuration
  homepage: "pages"

The plugin allows you to customize the name of a collection that is displayed in the sidebar by defining it in the collection's metadata in the config file. For example, if your source's posts are actually news-items on the deployed site, then it can be distracting to see the label Posts in the admin's sidebar. This situation can be resolved with the following configuration:

collections:
  posts:
    output: true
    sidebar_label: News
