Jekyll is a Ruby‑based static site generator that transforms plain‑text files written in Markdown, HTML, or Liquid into a complete static website. It is commonly used for blogs and documentation sites and integrates tightly with GitHub Pages.
Use cases
- Create a personal blog from Markdown files
- Generate a documentation site for an open‑source project
- Build a static website that can be hosted on GitHub Pages
- Convert a collection of Markdown posts into a fully‑styled site with custom layouts
- Develop a simple portfolio site without a database
When to choose
- You need a simple, blog‑aware static site generator with Ruby ecosystem support
- You plan to host the site on GitHub Pages or any static hosting service
- You prefer writing content in Markdown and using Liquid templates
- You want a mature, well‑maintained tool with a large community
When to avoid
- You require a full‑featured dynamic web framework with server‑side rendering
- You need out‑of‑the‑box support for complex client‑side interactivity
- You are not comfortable using Ruby or managing Ruby gems
