Refer to metalsmith-metadata to know more, but basically you need to create your metadata as a YAML file in the root of your sources directory:

// globals.yaml

author:
  name: Antonio Hernández
  email: ahdiaz [at] gmail

site:
  title: Work in progress
  url:
    devel: /
    prod: http://ahdiaz.euler.es/

In your metalsmith script:

var handlebars = require('handlebars');
var metadata = require('metalsmith-metadata');
var hbturl = require('handlebars-helper-url')(handlebars);

new Metalsmith(__dirname)
    .use(metadata({
      globals: './path/to/globals.json'
    }))
    .build();

When you build your site the urls will be relatives or absolutes to your site depending on the specified environment:

$ NODE_ENV=production node index.js
