Jekyll
Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs
Jekyll is a static site generator that converts Markdown, Liquid templates, HTML and CSS into static sites ready for deployment. It removes the need for databases, comment moderation, and software updates, letting authors focus on content. The quick-start flow installs Jekyll through a Ruby gem, creates a new site, and serves it locally for previewing.
Jekyll includes blog-aware features such as permalinks, categories, pages, posts, and custom layouts. GitHub Pages is powered by Jekyll, enabling deployment through GitHub with support for a custom domain name. The project is maintained by a core team of volunteers and is released under the MIT License.
Jekyll is suited to developers and writers who want to publish static sites and blogs without a database-backed stack. It is distributed as free, open-source software installed via Ruby gems, with no paid editions, trials, or seat-based plans described.
