Tag: Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator that takes plain text files—written in Markdown or HTML—and builds them into a complete website. It’s especially popular for blogs and documentation because it’s simple, fast, and integrates seamlessly with GitHub Pages. Since Jekyll generates static files rather than relying on a database, the resulting sites are lightweight, secure, and easy to host. Developers often choose Jekyll when they want a straightforward publishing workflow without the overhead of a full CMS.
