@eleven_ty micro tip: Give eleventy some credit by injecting a "generator" meta tag in your HTML! 🔥

Frontpage and Dreamweaver used to get credit this way, why shouldn't we give Eleventy some credit too? 😇

(a short thread in 3 steps 👇)

STEP 1. Create a data file in `_data/site.js` with the following content:

STEP 2. Create your base layout `_includes/layout.njk` and use the variable `{{ site.generator }}`:

STEP 3. Just the use the base layout in your templates:

Now, if you happen to update eleventy to a new version, the generator tag will automatically be updated accordingly (note we are reading the version from eleventy's own `package.json` file).

That's it 👏
