Jekyll collections not rendering

Question

I've made a Jekyll static web site following this tutorial. The problem is when I reach the collections's section, I do what is being told but my 'portfolio' collection is not rendering.

These are the Markdown files that composes the collection _portfolio.

For example, the file called google.md has this content:

---
image_path: /img/portfolio/1.jpg
category: Diseño web
project_name: Google
link: https://google.com
---

As well the other files, but with different data.

My config.yml just has this:

collections:
  portfolio:

And portfolio.html has this code:

---
layout: page
title: Portafolio
---
<section class="no-padding" id="portfolio">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="row no-gutter">
        {%- for item in site.portfolio -%}
        <div class="col-lg-4 col-sm-6">
            <a href="{{ item.link }}" class="portfolio-box">
              <img src="{{ item.image_path }}" class="img-responsive" alt="{{ item.project_name }}">
              <div class="portfolio-box-caption">
                <div class="portfolio-box-caption-content">
                  <div class="project-category text-faded">
                    {{ item.category }}
                  </div>
                  <div class="project-name">
                    {{ item.project_name }}
                  </div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </a>
          </div>
        {%- endfor -%}
      </div>
    </div>
  </section>

When I inspected the elements in the console y noticed that the page is rendering everything but the content after the {% for %} tag.

What am I missing? Are the Markdown files wrong or is it the 'for' tag?

It seems that your collection.docs array is empty, so, no way to loop in. You need to generate your documents.

Can you try :

collections:
  portfolio:
    output: true

Edit : And your configuration file must be named _config.yml and NOT config.yml.
