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/) * [gulp-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-cli) * [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 install` to install npm packages * `gulp` to run the default Gulp task Need your CSS in the ``?
