Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby by Tom Preston-Werner. It is distributed under the open source MIT license.
Jekyll was first released by Tom Preston-Werner in 2008.[3] Jekyll was later taken over by Parker Moore, an employee of GitHub who led the release of Jekyll 1.[4]
Jekyll started a web development trend towards static websites.[5] As of 2017[update] Jekyll was ranked the most popular static site generator, largely due to its adoption by GitHub. The Jekyll project on GitHub continues to be updated and releases are being made for bug fixes.
