How right to work with images?

Hello!

Please tell me. How to post images to Jekyll?

Is it enough to create one folder (images). And inside it add all the pictures of posts?

I want to create a config in the _config.yml file. And there, specify the images folder url. Example: image-path: /images.

And inside the posts, it’s enough to set the name of the images: <img src = "{{site.image-path}} /name-of-image.jpeg">. Will this work correctly with images? It seems to me convenient.

that would probably work, did you try it?

That said I am not sure what it is gaining you other than a single place to edit if you want to change it in the future. I just put my images in assets/images and link to them with that url.

Thank you for the answer! You mean, that I should put all my site (post) images into one single folder? Into assets/images folder…

yes, you can put them where ever you want, jekyll does not do anything special to images - jekyll just copies them from where ever they are to the same location within the _site folder.

I sometimes put them in sub directories within the images folder if I feel it makes sense.

If you are trying to store the images for a post with a particular post, I don’t think that works too well, I have seen that asked before and don’t think that is a normal workflow.

Thank you, sir, for the answer!

What are you mean? Please, could you clarify this point? Sorry, maybe I have some trouble with my English understand…)

If I store all my post’s images into one folder, it’s will be bad?

Please, can you tell me. How are you working with images for your posts? Maybe I should do create folders for each post, where I put post’s images? Example: /assets/images/post-name-folder/image1.jpg + image2.jpg etc

sometimes people want to keep the images with the article - so they want to store the asset in a folder next to the post, but this does not work if I remember correctly.

All the images in one folder is fine, that is what I do. You can use different folders like your example if you want, all up to you.
