Jekyll Filename Without Date
I want to build documentation site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages. The problem is Jekyll only accept a filename under _posts with exact pattern like YYYY-MM-DD-your-title-is-here.md.
How can I post a page in Jekyll without this filename pattern? Something like:
awesome-title.mdyet-another-title.mdetc.md
Thanks for your advance.
Solution
Don't use posts; posts are things with dates. Sounds like you probably want to use collections instead; you get all the power of Posts; but without the pesky date / naming requirements.

I use collections for almost everything that isn't a post. This is how my own site is configured to use collections for 'pages' as well as more specific sections of my site:
