What is Jekyll?
In November 2008, Tom Preston-Werner, cofounder and CEO of
GitHub, introduced Jekyll with a blog post and released the code.
“I was tired of complicated blogging engines...I wanted to write
great posts, not...lag behind the latest software release.”
“First, all my writing would be stored in a Git repository.
Complexity would be kept to an absolute minimum...”
“Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a
template directory (representing the raw form of a website),
runs it through Textile [or Markdown] and Liquid converters, and
spits out a complete, static website.”
