- Getting started/How to use instructions
jekyll is a static site generator, run in the terminal.
built with Ruby
how is jekyll different from React.js?
routing is handled using the basic directory structure. that is there is a physical directory for the route; "https://www.example.app/2021/08/21/abcde.md", for example, even though that file intially sat in a _posts folder before building. the function that handles this path-generation is hidden, in the jekyll executable, from the user. whereas in React
it receives templated (static-)HTML/CSS/JS files and outputs a fully-formed website

jekyll handles an array of content-data like posts like this:

a directory in the build-tree is named as follows _posts. and the page with some collection of posts has, for example, the code:

{% for post in site.posts %}
    {% if post.layout == 'note' %}
        <div class=post>
            <h1 class=title><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h1>
            {% if post.feature %}
            <p class=feature-image>
                <img src="{{ post.feature-image }}"/>
            </p>
            {% endif %}
            <div class=content>
            </div>
            {% include post-meta.html %}
        </div>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

it is deployed to netlfy with the build command: pass

Markdown and Liquid Templates: You write your content in Markdown, a lightweight markup language. You can also use Liquid, a templating language, to add dynamic elements to your pages.
Configuration: You define the site's configuration in a _config.yml file. This includes settings like the site title, author, and plugins.
Content: Your content, written in Markdown, is placed in the _posts or other designated directories.
Layouts and Templates: Jekyll uses layouts and templates to structure your site. You can create custom layouts or use the default ones provided by Jekyll.
Conversion: Jekyll takes your Markdown files, processes them using Liquid, and converts them into HTML pages.
Plugins: Jekyll supports plugins that add functionality to your site, such as SEO optimization, social media integration, or sitemaps.
Building: To generate the site, you run the jekyll build command. This processes your content, applies templates, and creates an output directory with HTML files.
Output: The generated HTML files, along with other assets like CSS and JavaScript, are ready to be deployed to a web server.
Deployment: You can deploy the static site to any web server or hosting service, as it's just a collection of static files.
