Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby that transforms plain text files into static websites and blogs. It uses Markdown for content, Liquid for templating, and supports data files in YAML, JSON, or CSV formats. Jekyll generates static HTML files that can be served from any web server without databases or server-side processing. The tool is integrated with GitHub Pages, enabling free hosting for Jekyll sites directly from GitHub repositories. Jekyll provides themes, plugins, and extensive customization options through configuration files. It's popular for documentation sites, personal blogs, project pages, and marketing sites requiring fast performance and security. Jekyll pioneered the static site generator movement and remains widely used despite newer alternatives like Hugo and Gatsby.
Counts follow the sites we crawl. Our crawl grew sharply in October 2026, so part of that month's rise reflects coverage, not adoption.
