For the impatient, here's how to get a boilerplate Jekyll site up and running.
|
|
|
|
{% highlight bash %}
|
|
~ $ gem install jekyll
|
|
~ $ jekyll new myblog
|
|
~ $ cd myblog
|
|
~/myblog $ jekyll serve
|
|
# => Now browse to http://localhost:4000
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|

That's nothing, though. The real magic happens when you start creating blog
|
|
posts, using the front-matter to control templates and layouts, and taking
|
|
advantage of all the awesome configuration options Jekyll makes available.

<p>In Jekyll 1.1, we switched the default markdown engine for sites
|
|
generated with <code>jekyll new</code> to Redcarpet</p>
