I installed jekyll and run it from cli:

jekyll --server --auto

But when I change _config.yml I can’t see that my changes where applied and I have to restart server every time.

I really need to restart server every time when I change _config.yml? Or there is some workaround?

    I believe you are correct; that changes to _config.yml always require restarting the server.

    After all, _config.yml provides options that you can override in the call to Jekyll. So it is unclear how auto should behave if an option is called on the command line run of jekyll which overrides some of the _config.yml settings, and then the config is edited. Which would take precedence then? the _config.yml or the original command line argument?
