Page/post revision history for Jekyll/Octopress site.
Git is the only revision control system currently supported.
This plugin adds a page variable page.revisions, which is a list of recent revisions of the post or page. Each revision contains attributes date, author and message. A page variable page.last_modified_at is added as well, which equals to page.revisions[0].date.
The sample template file revision.html and recent_updated.html shows how to use the variable.
Put revision.rb in /_plugins/ (for Jekyll) or /plugins/ (for Octopress) directory.
Put revision.html and recent_updated.html in /_include (for Jekyll) or /source/_include (for Octopress) directory.
Include revision.html somewhere in your layout file:
{% include revision.html %}
It lists the revision history of the current post/page. You may modify revision.html to get the presentation you want.
Include recent_updated.html somewhere in your layout file:
{% include recent_updated.html %}
It lists 10 most recent updated pages and posts in your site. You may modify recent_updated.html to get the presentation you want.
Add below configuration into _config.yaml:
revision:
max_count: 5
max_count is the maximum number of revisions to show. Default is 5 if not set.
On site generation, this plugin executes git log for every document to retrieve revision history. It takes time when there are a lot of posts. You may disable this plugin during local preview by passing -- --no-revision to jekyll startup command.
$ jekyll serve -- --no-revision
