Creating a New Site

Jekyll has a self-titled command: Jekyll.

Serving the Site Locally

Jekyll has a built in server to generate and serve the site locally. Just like any Ruby executable, it’s best to execute the jekyll command by prepending bundle exec so that the gem versions specified in the project’s Gemfile are used instead of the global/local context.
