Github Pages and Jekyll - sitemap

Update

I’ve moved from Jekyll to Hugo.
This method only fits Jekyll.

Sitemap

A sitemap is a .xml file that contains the links to all the pages inside a website.
With a sitemap,
a search engine knows the pages and can therefore create indexes for them.
Then, people surfing the internet can find those pages with keywords after that.

Jekyll-sitemap

There is a plugin called jekyll-stiemap for Jekyll,
which generates a sitemap automatically whenever the website is re-building.

It is a good choice if you build your website on your machine,
but with GitHub Pages,
it is broken.

Not sure if that is because of the parameters or the way Github used to build a website;
The sitemap is generated,
but the address was not correct.

Generates sitemap without plugin

So I find this,
which seems to work so I decided to give it a try,
modify and put it to sitemap.xml inside the repository,
and it did work!
