But everything changed with the brilliant Chocolatey!Ĭhocolatey brings to CMD what programmers love about shell - it allows installing useful software and packages (like python, mysql etc.) with simple syntax. People used somewhat complicated multi installer setups or were running it on the amazing Windows Linux Bash Shell - which had it’s issues with continuous file tracking. It is fairly straightforward to run it on Unix systems, but it used to be pain to run it on Windows. There are many sites online to teach you how to jekyll, but this is just to give you a brief overview of how to make everything run on Windows. But it it also a little bit tricky for those without much programming backgroud to get into. Unlike in Wordpress, there are no logons, there is no database - which makes the blog run fast, run anywhere and run secure. So every new article you add, every change rebuilds the page completely. It basically takes markdown files, html templates and few css and javascript files and then convert them all into a static html website.

Jekyll is a static page generator which this blogs run on.
