Hide a page in Jekyll website served by GitHub

How do I hide a page in Jekyll? I have a Contact Us page (as a Google Docs form), and there is a response page. When created, it shows up in the navigation as a child of the Contact Us page, but I don't want it to show up at all.

I currently have this set up in the front matter like this:

---
layout: page
title: Thanks
permalink: /contact/thanks/
---

Rather than 'opting out' of including certain pages, you can 'opt in' to include only the pages you do want included in your navigation. This is useful if you have a large number of pages.

Include a menu variable in the front matter of every page you do want included in the navigation:

---
layout: blog
title: Blog
menu: main
permalink: /blog/
---

And then add an if statement where your navigation is generated:

<ul>
  {% for page in site.pages %}
    {% if page.menu == 'main' %}
      <li><a href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a></li>
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

This is likely to be in _layouts/default.html or possibly _includes/header.html.

According to docs, set published to false in your front matter:

---
layout: post
title: Blogging Like a Hacker
published: false

If you do not put any title in the page, it does not show up in the nav bar. Something like

---
layout: page
permalink: /contact/thanks/
---

Just add a show_in_nav: false in you page front matter and in your navigation bar, do a :

<ul>
{% for p in pages %}
    {% unless show_in_nav == false %}
    <li><a href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ p.url }}">{{ p.title }}</a></li>
    {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>

This will prevent your page from appearing in navigation bar.
