Jekyll posts filenames without dates

Question

I don't care about dates because I edit my previous posts all the time, so I would like to replace _posts/2015-05-05-something.md by _posts/something.md.

Answer 1

Using pages doesn't require files to have dates, eg: _posts/2015-05-05-something.md becomes something.md.

(The answer came from the amazing Github support)

Answer 2

To do it you need to edit _config.yml file. Variable you are interested in is permalink. Jekyll has 4 build-in styles:

date - /:categories/:year/:month/:day/:title.html
pretty - /:categories/:year/:month/:day/:title/
ordinal - /:categories/:year/:y_day/:title.html
none - /:categories/:title.html

You probably need to use none. Or you can build your own with a simple templates: more info here.
