Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server. Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host sites right from your GitHub repositories.

Philosophy

Jekyll does what you tell it to do - no more, no less. It does not try to outsmart users by making bold assumptions, nor does it burden them with needless complexity and configuration. Put simply, Jekyll gets out of your way and allows you to concentrate on what truly matters: your content.

Jejyll Talk Community

Jekyll Talk is a Discourse forum for anything related to Jekyll and was set up by @envygeeks to build a community more accessible to Jekyll users and more suitable for general discussion.

There is already been a lot of interesting topics, including a site showcase and a poll for Jekyll 3.0 priorities.
