The base hostname and protocol for your site. If you're hosting with GitHub Pages this will be something like `url: "https://github.io.mmistakes"` or `url: "https://mademistakes.com"` if you have a custom domain name.
**Note:** It's important to remember that when testing locally you need to change the `site.url`. Ideally you'd use [multiple config files](https://mademistakes.com/articles/using-jekyll-2016/#environments-and-configurations) with `bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config.yml,_config.dev.yml` to apply development overrides.
