Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby that converts plain text files, written in Markdown or HTML with front matter, into complete static websites, often used for blogs and documentation sites. It is the engine behind GitHub Pages, making it popular among developers for hosting free, version-controlled websites directly from a GitHub repository. It appeals to users who want a simple, template-driven workflow without the overhead of a database or server-side application.
