This is what I was talking about Commands:
https://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/commands/
https://maxchadwick.xyz/blog/building-a-custom-jekyll-command-plugin
I haven't really had a chance to look at what you've been committing yet,
but I suspect you're going in a different direction. Anyway, thought I
would mention it in case it could be useful:
So to build and run the site locally, I use:
bundle exec jekyll build
bundle exec jekyll serve
And it looks like, with a custom command, we could have our own custom
command like "create-project" and then you would run something like the
following (e.g., to create the gora project YAML):
bundle exec jekyll create-project gora
It seems neat to be able to run custom scripts in the same environment as
building/running the site locally
