Jekyll - Simple, Blog-Aware Static Site Generator
Jekyll is a powerful static site generator that transforms plain text into fully functional static websites and blogs. Designed for simplicity, it eliminates the need for databases, comment moderation, or frequent updates, allowing users to focus purely on content creation. Key features include:
- Simple Content Management: Write content in Markdown, Liquid, HTML, and CSS, and Jekyll outputs static sites ready for deployment.
- Blog-Aware Features: Supports permalinks, categories, pages, posts, and custom layouts, making it ideal for blogging.
- Quick Setup: Get started in seconds with straightforward installation commands and serve your site locally for testing.
- Free Hosting with GitHub Pages: Seamlessly deploy your site for free using GitHub Pages, which is powered by Jekyll, with support for custom domains.
Jekyll is perfect for developers, bloggers, and content creators who need a lightweight, customizable platform to build and host static websites without the overhead of traditional CMS platforms. Its integration with GitHub Pages and focus on static content make it a go-to choice for personal blogs, portfolios, documentation sites, and small business websites.
