Comment on How to make your github static page a blog

Comments

Cool project, but how is this different than the jekyll powered static page generation that is already used by GitHub?

I'm not sure about how it is different from Jekyll, but I was just looking for something extremly simple. Perhaps the answer about why I wrote a new engine instead of using Jekyll is because I'm not a Ruby user, and I didn´t want to install gem on my computer.

I am pretty sure you don't need to install jekyll on your computer, github will compile the files for you when you push.

*Of course you wouldn't be able to test localy so it might not be a good idea.
