jekyll-debug

Jekyll filter that allows a user to debug liquid filters and tags at runtime

Jekyll debug

A Jekyll filter that enables runtime debugging.

Usage

  1. Add gem 'jekyll-debug' to your site's Gemfile and run bundle
  2. Add the following to your site's _config.yml:
gems:
  - jekyll-debug

To use in your project, add liquid tags to front matter and use the debug filter to catch variables at run time. jekyll-debug extends the pry debugger, so when the debugging console shows appears, all pry commands are valid commands.
