Overview
Jekyll is a “simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites.” Its first release dates back to 2009, making it one of the most mature static site generators available. It has built-in support for GitHub Pages and one of the largest collections of community-maintained themes available.
