```

Create your new file in a collection using:

```sh
$ bundle exec jekyll compose "My New Thing" --collection "things"
```

## Configuration

To customize the default plugin configuration edit the `jekyll_compose` section within your jekyll config file.

### auto-open new drafts or posts in your editor

```yaml
jekyll_compose:
auto_open: true
```

and make sure that you have `EDITOR`, `VISUAL` or `JEKYLL_EDITOR` environment variable set.
For instance if you wish to open newly created Jekyll posts and drafts in Atom editor you can add the following line in your shell configuration:
```sh
export JEKYLL_EDITOR=atom
```

`JEKYLL_EDITOR` will override default `EDITOR` or `VISUAL` value.
`VISUAL` will override default `EDITOR` value.

### Set default front matter for drafts and posts

If you wish to add default front matter to newly created posts or drafts, you can specify as many as you want under `default_front_matter` config keys, for instance:

```yaml
jekyll_compose:
default_front_matter:
drafts:
description:
image:
category:
tags:
posts:
description:
image:
category:
tags:
published: false
sitemap: false
```

This will also auto add:
- The creation timestamp under the `date` attribute.
- The title attribute under the `title` attribute

For collections, you can add default front matter to newly created collection files using `default_front_matter` and the collection name as a config key, for instance for the collection `things`:

```yaml
jekyll_compose:
default_front_matter:
things:
description:
image:
category:
tags:
```

### Submitting a Pull Request based on an existing proposal

When submitting a pull request that uses code from an unmerged pull request, please be aware of the following:
* Changes proposed in the older pull request is still the original author's property. Moving forward from where they left it
means that you're a `co-author`.
* GitHub allows attributing
[credit to multiple authors](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors)
However, pull requests in this project are automatically squashed and then merged onto the base branch. So, only authors and
co-authors of the opening commit gets credit once the pull request gets merged.
* If the original pull request contained multiple commits, you may squash them into a single commit but ensure that you list
any additional authors (and yourselves) as co-authors of that commit.
* Use appropriate [keywords](https://help.github.com/en/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords) in your pull request post to
link to the existing pull request or issue-ticket so that they're automatically closed when your pull request gets merged.
