Help with creating new pages

[NikhilSP]

I am using the default files present in project and I have tried to put a lot of values in the 3 fields shown in image. No matter what I do its always giving me 404 error. Can some one please help me?

I finally figured it out. If anyone else is struggling

1. Create folders _pages, _posts in your main project folder.
   Not inside any other folder.
   _posts and _pages inside docs folder wont work.

2. Make theses changes to _data/navigation.yml

# main links
main:
  - title: "Blog"
    url: /
  - title: "About"
    url: /about/

3. url blog will work automatically and it will automatically detect all the posts in _posts folder. (copy paste a few posts from docs/_posts to _posts folder added above)

4. For about : create about.md in _pages folder. Add this code to it.

---
permalink: /about/
excerpt: "Minimal Mistakes is a flexible two-column Jekyll theme."
layout: single
author_profile: true
---

some sample text

Try different layouts other than single : https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/layouts/
If you change it to posts or home then it will show the list of posts

I cant believe I spent 2 hours to figure this out
