description Jekyll Overview
Jekyll is the 'grandfather' of the modern static site generator movement. It is the engine behind GitHub Pages, making it the easiest way to host a free site on the web. Written in Ruby, it is incredibly stable and has a massive library of themes and plugins. While it may not be as fast as Hugo or as modern as Astro, it remains a highly reliable choice for simple blogs and project sites.
Its integration with GitHub is seamless, allowing for a 'git-push-to-deploy' workflow that is still the gold standard for simplicity.
