We are considering moving our website over the Gitlab Pages and Jekyll. Our requirements are that we are able to create a have pages for the site that are generated from Markdown files within the repo itself, but also to have pages for the site that are generated from Markdown files in other repos.
It won’t be suitable for us to mirror those repos within the main site repo, we need to be able to ad hoc point to them from a simple config file.
I have read the Jekyll documentation (Configuration Options | Jekyll • Simple, blog-aware, static sites) and it says you can force it to include directories and files from alternative locations, but it isn’t clear (to me) if that includes URLs. Could we, for example, include a rawfile link from a public Gitlab repo, and have that treated as a Markdown file which would then become a page or a post?
Thank you for your assistance.
