Description

Some Jekyll site have to set media path to absolute path like /assets/images/test.jpg, and cannot be rendered on local machine.

If user can provide Jekyll repo path like ~/git/test.github.io, it will be helpful to format those media with URL begin as / to ~/git/test.github.io/assets/images/test.jpg.
