    Add the config snippet in .eleventy.js.
    .eleventy.js
    module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy({
    public: ".",
  });

  return {
    dir: {
      input: "src",
      output: "_site",
    },
  };
};
  5. 5
    Insert the favicon/head snippet in src/index.html before </head>.
    src/index.html before </head>
    <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">

<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg?v=10" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)">
<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon-dark.svg?v=10" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)">

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="96x96" href="/favicon-96x96.png?v=10" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="96x96" href="/favicon-dark-96x96.png?v=10" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)">

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png?v=10">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest?v=10">
  6. 6
    Why this setup works.
    • The tested .eleventy.js config copies public/ directly into the _site root.
    • public/favicon.svg becomes _site/favicon.svg and is served as /favicon.svg.
    • The favicon link snippet belongs in src/index.html, not in .eleventy.js.

    Common mistakes to avoid.

    Using /public/ in the browser path

    Wrong: /public/favicon.svg

    Correct: /favicon.svg

    Eleventy copies public/ contents to the output root.

    Putting HTML links in .eleventy.js

    Wrong: Paste <link> tags in .eleventy.js

    Correct: Paste <link> tags in src/index.html before </head>

    .eleventy.js is configuration; src/index.html is the rendered HTML head.
