    About GitHub Pages and Jekyll

    Jekyll is a static site generator with built-in support for GitHub Pages.

    GitHub Pages is available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and GitHub Enterprise Server.

    About Jekyll

    Jekyll is a static site generator with built-in support for GitHub Pages and a simplified build process. Jekyll takes Markdown and HTML files and creates a complete static website based on your choice of layouts. Jekyll supports Markdown and Liquid, a templating language that loads dynamic content on your site. For more information, see Jekyll.

    Jekyll is not officially supported for Windows. For more information, see "Jekyll on Windows" in the Jekyll documentation.

    We recommend using Jekyll with GitHub Pages. If you prefer, you can use other static site generators or customize your own build process locally or on another server. For more information, see "About GitHub Pages."

    Configuring Jekyll in your GitHub Pages site

    You can configure most Jekyll settings, such as your site's theme and plugins, by editing your _config.yml file. For more information, see "Configuration" in the Jekyll documentation.

    Some configuration settings cannot be changed for GitHub Pages sites.
