Output the page URL in Jekyll?

Question

How can I get the current page's URL?

I have tried:

{{ site.url }}

But this fails to out put anything.

You need to define that in your _config.yml. It's empty by default. Once defined you might want something like {{site.url}}{{page.url}} to get the hole path. – Spleenful

Great thanks, how can I combine {{site.url}}{{page.url}} to one var so I can pass it in to a liquid function? – Mikkanen

{% capture url_path %}{{site.url}}{{page.url}}{% endcapture %} – Spleenful

It's empty by default.

Once defined you might want something like {{site.url}}{{page.url}} to get the whole path.

To capture the whole path in a variable you can use

{% capture url_path %}{{site.url}}{{page.url}}{% endcapture %}

It can work out of the box in GitHub Pages at least using {{ page.url | absolute_url }}. See Page Variables doc in conjunction with the Absolute URL filter.
