I facing difficult understanding relative_url and baseurl. I have deployed a site on gitlab pages and in I have used relative_url in all the links but I didn’t use baseurl in the _config.yml file and it didn’t work. But when I deployed the same on netlify it works. If I use baseurl, for example:…

The relative_url filter adds in whatever you’re using as baseurl in your _config.yml. There’s no point to us it if you’re already hardcoding that value into your links. absolute_url filter works similar but takes site.url + site.baseurl and prepends URLs with them.

for example – you have an image and you’re adding the full path to the src Input  {{ '/images/dog.jpeg' | relative_url }} Output /this_is_my_site/images/dog.jpeg

What if I don’t use baseurl and relative_url?

@yashumittal baseurl, relative_url are two different entities. When you set baseurl: "/blog", Jekyll considers /blog/ as the root of your website. i.e. Instead of having your site served at http://localhost:4000/, you’ll have it served at http://localhost:4000/blog/ instead. Jekyll expects you to …

So, if I don’t use both baseurl and relative url, will it also work then?

[image] yashumittal: if I don’t use both baseurl and relative url, will it also work then? It should work if you have hard-coded the links properly. Do you have a link to your site deployed to Gitlab Pages…?

[image] ashmaroli: {{ site.baseurl }} I ran across this thread trying to solve a similar problem. I don’t have a github site yet, just doing everything locally, and my baseurl = “/mish”, so my URLs are http://localhost:4000/mish/, but I do not want a baseurl, or rather, I want the baseurl to…

you probably should have it empty baseurl: or just delete baseurl from the config. if you set it to ‘/’ and go look at what the url ends up with you will see // which will break since you already have a leading / on your url.
