Github Pages showing posts with future date

Question

I have number of posts on _posts. Post file have pattern like below

├── _posts
│   ├── 2016-10-02-SomeContent.md
│   ├── 2016-10-03-AnotherContent.md

On my local machine (ubuntu 16.04 LTS) If I prefix my post file name which future date like 2017-10-03-FutureContent.md the post with future date prefixed is not shown.

I'm using bundle exec jekyll serve to run the project

But when I push it to Github it's visible and shows the posted date as future date.

Using this theme

Why can't I see the post on my local machine but when pushed to Github it is visible?

Answer 1

You should serve with:

bundle exec jekyll serve --future

The reason why it's available on GitHub is because: GitHub's pages-gem enables the future flag
