Configurable location for Jekyll config file location

[paulrobertlloyd]

This project is fascinating, and opening my eyes to the myriad possibilities of publishing directly to/from my GitHub repos, so thanks so much for putting this together!

Right now I have my repo set-up such that posts are located within src/_posts/ and my config is located at etc/jekyll/config.yml. If I could point this service to the location of my config file, my thinking is the source location for content (src) could then be detected, posts written to the correct folder, rather than defaulting to root of my repo.

Thanks!

Making the path to the config file configurable would be fairly simple.

One would add a new optional value to the site config:

webpage-micropub-to-github/lib/sites.js

Line 10 in 3340b6f

sites.main = {

And then have that carry through to the auto-config somewhere here:

webpage-micropub-to-github/lib/handler.js

Line 47 in 3340b6f

: autoConfigure(publisher).then(autoConfig => Object.assign(autoConfig, options))

And then use it there to replace the hard-coded _config.yml:

webpage-micropub-to-github/lib/auto-config.js

Line 35 in ee672f6

const lookup = publisher.retrieve('_config.yml')

Using the info in there to alter the source location of content would certainly be doable then, as the option pointed out in #18 is sent in using the result from the auto-config.

I can try to find time to take a look at it in the weekend 🙂
