Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware static site generator that allows users to create blogs without a database. It uses Markdown or Textile for content, Git for version control, and generates static HTML files that can be hosted for free. Key benefits of Jekyll include speed, reliability, security, and the ability to be unique without complex hosting or configuration requirements.

9. README
● It does what you tell it to do, no more, no less,
● It doesn't try to outsmart users by making bold
assumptions, nor does it burden them with needless
complexity and configuration,
● Put simply, Jekyll gets out of your way and allows you
to concentrate on what truly matters: your content.
