Jekyll
Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs
Jekyll is an open-source static site generator that converts plain text written in markup languages like Markdown into fully functional static websites and blogs. It uses layouts and templates to control the look and feel of the site, and integrates natively with GitHub Pages for free hosting. Developers install it as a Ruby gem and run it locally to build and preview their sites before deployment.
Jekyll processes plain text files written in markup languages through configurable layouts and outputs a complete static website ready for deployment.
