Include files that start with an underscore howto

Jekyll does not build any files or directories that

• are hidden or used for backup (indicated by names that start with . or #, or that end with ~);
• contain site content (indicated by names that start with _); or
• are excluded in the site configuration.

To work around this behavior, you can

• include a .nojekyll file in the root path to turn off Jekyll;
• use the include directive in your _config.yml to specify files that should not be ignored
• do not use names that start with an underscore (_), period (.), or hash symbol (#), or that end with a tilde (~).
