Jekyll is now part of the Tidelift Subscription

Written by Brenna Heaps | November 15, 2018

We’re excited to share that the Tidelift Subscription now includes support for Jekyll!



Jekyll is a simple, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx, or another web server. Project lead Olivia Hugger will be providing assurances for Jekyll as part of the Tidelift Subscription. You can learn more about Jekyll by visiting the project site.

The Jekyll repository is the 54th most starred on GitHub, and it is the second most starred Ruby project, behind only the Rails framework. What’s more, it also sees staggering amounts of usage by other open source projects, with over 55,000 packages depending on Jekyll.
