Differs from Ruby Jekyll — modified

Jigyll is a partially-compatible clone of Jekyll written in Go. Most Jekyll concepts carry over, but not every feature is implemented — pages that differ are flagged like this one.

All differences →

Jigyll is a partially-compatible clone of the Jekyll static site generator, written in Go. It provides build and serve commands, with directory watching and live reload — and runs roughly 20× faster than Ruby Jekyll on the sites it supports.

Because Jigyll aims for Jekyll compatibility, most of what you already know about Jekyll applies here. Where behavior differs, these docs call it out explicitly — see Differences from Jekyll.

Quick start

jigyll build       # build the current directory into _site
jigyll serve       # serve at http://localhost:4000 with live reload

Head to Installation to get the binary, then Usage for the commands and flags.
