Jekyll default installation doesn't have _layouts directory
<p>So I followed the guide on the Jekyll website by installing and running Jekyll (sure I don't have to post this here). And the site is up and running perfectly but for some reason I don't see the <code>_layouts</code> directory that's supposed to be there. In the pages I can see that it references some layouts i.e:</p>

<p><strong>index.html</strong></p>

<pre><code>---
layout: default
---

&lt;div class="home"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>about.md</strong></p>

<pre><code>---
layout: page
title: About
permalink: /about/
---

This is the base Jekyll theme.
</code></pre>

<p>But when you look at the directory stucture of the project:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pHu7y.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pHu7y.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>No layouts folder.. what's up with that? Everything works though. And it looks perfectly fine when run on localhost.</p>
