Jekyll SEO - Question

Hello!

This is more of a question rather than an actual issue.

The README, says

Minima comes with jekyll-seo-tag plugin preinstalled to make sure your website gets the most useful meta tags.

while the Jekyll documentation

GitHub Pages is powered by Jekyll. All GitHub Pages sites are generated using the --safe option to disable plugins (with the exception of some whitelisted plugins) for security reasons. Unfortunately, this means your plugins won't work if you’re deploying via GitHub Pages.

Now, the jekyll-seo-tag plugin is on the whitelist. Does this mean that, even if I am deploying via GitHub Pages, it will still work?

Thank you for your time.

Hello @Ingolfurinn
Yes, your observation is correct. jekyll-seo-tag will work with Minima and GitHub Pages out-of-the-box. You may even "try" unreleased changes to the theme by using the jekyll-remote-theme plugin.

However, the GitHub Pages native build using a very old version of Jekyll, has taken a back seat when they introduced the ability to set up GitHub Actions to handle build and deploy.
