Compile Jekyll sites with Grunt.

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0 and Jekyll >= v1.0.0.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide which explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process you may install this plugin with the command:

npm install grunt-jekyll --save-dev

After the plugin has been installed, load it in your Gruntfile with:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jekyll');

Run this task with the grunt jekyll command.

This task helps you compile your Jekyll static site with Grunt.js.

You can use all of the configuration options available in the Jekyll Documentation, as well as some special options provided by this plugin.

Type: string
Default: .

Directory where Jekyll will read files.

Type: string
Default: ./_site

Directory where Jekyll will write files.

Type: boolean
Default: false

Regenerate the site when files are modified.
If you are running multiple watch tasks in a project you should use grunt-contrib-watch instead.

Type: boolean Default: false

Build the site and start a development server. If false, the site is built with the build command.

If you are running a Jekyll version greater than 1.0, you'll want to use this, as server is deprecated.
