Jigyll

Jigyll is a partially-compatible clone of the Jekyll static site generator, written in the Go programming language. It provides build and serve commands, with directory watch and live reload.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reidransom/jigyll/main/install.sh | bash

The installer also installs Dart Sass if sass is not detected on your PATH.

Find other installation methods in the documentation.

Development

Development and tests require the standalone Dart Sass sass executable on your PATH. Install the pinned version globally with mise:

mise use --global github:sass/dart-sass@1.98.0

Then confirm the installation with sass --version. For other installation methods, see the official Sass command-line installation instructions.

This project uses just as a command runner. Run just to see available recipes:

just build      # compile the binary
just buildlinux # cross-compile for linux (amd64 + arm64)
just clean      # remove build artifacts
just install    # install the binary
just lint       # run linter
just release    # bump patch version, tag, and push
just test       # run tests
