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." –[Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) ## Requirements * [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) * [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) * [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) * [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) * [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) ## Get started * `bundle install` to install Ruby gems * `npm ci` to install npm packages listed in `package-lock.json` * `npm run start` to compile the site with development settings and run BrowserSync ## Build your site * `npm run build:dev` to compile the site with development settings * `npm run build` to compile the site for production ## Deploy [![Deploy to Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/img/deploy/button.svg)](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/taylorbryant/tailwind-jekyll) Note: By default, Netlify uses `jekyll build` as the build command.
