USER: how do i add a scope that sets the description just for the home page?
ASSISTANT: To add a scope that sets the description just for the home page, you'll need to modify the `_config.yml` file. You can define a new scope with a specific path pointing to the home page (usually `index.md` or `index.html`).
Here's how to add a scope with a custom description for the home page:
```yaml
_config.yml
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
defaults:
- scope:
path: "examples"
type: "pages"
values:
description: "This is a custom description for the examples section."
=======
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
defaults:
- scope:
path: "examples"
type: "pages"
values:
description: "This is a custom description for the examples section."
- scope:
path: "index.md" # or "index.html" if your home page is an HTML file
type: "pages"
values:
description: "This is a custom description for the home page."
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This will apply the custom description to the home page. Make sure to replace `"index.md"` with `"index.html"` if your home page is an HTML file.
# Context:
USER: can i use scope to apply a different description to different parts of the site?
ASSISTANT: Yes, you can use the `scope` feature in Jekyll to apply different descriptions to different parts of the site. You'll need to modify the `_config.yml` file to define the scopes and their respective descriptions.
Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:
1. In the `_config.yml` file, add a new `defaults` section.
2. Define the scope by specifying the `path` and `type` attributes.
3. Set the `values` attribute to include the `description` key with the desired description text.
Here's an example of how to add a scope with a custom description for the `examples` directory:
```yaml
_config.yml
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
=======
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
defaults:
- scope:
path: "examples"
type: "pages"
values:
description: "This is a custom description for the examples section."
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This will apply the custom description to all pages within the `examples` directory. You can add more scopes for other directories or specific pages by following the same pattern.
