[Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) is a blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. To build an Jekyll site, start with a template: - [Jekyll](https://vercel.com/new/clone?s=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Fvercel%2Ftree%2Fmain%2Fexamples%2Fjekyll&template=jekyll&id=67753070&b=main&from=templates) ## Deploy Jekyll to Vercel Vercel is a platform for deploying the fastest Jekyll sites. You can deploy your site with zero configuration to the best [frontend infrastructure](https://vercel.com/features/infrastructure). - \*\*Develop: \*\*Build Jekyll sites that connect to your favorite APIs, databases, and content management systems. - \*\*Preview: \*\*Integrate with any GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository for [instant continuous deployment](https://vercel.com/features/previews). - \*\*Ship: \*\*Deploy your site to every edge node worldwide for the fastest Jekyll sites. Static files, Vercel Functions, the CDN, and [more](https://vercel.com/features/infrastructure). ## Built-in CI/CD for Jekyll sites Vercel has integrations for [GitHub](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/git/vercel-for-github), [GitLab](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/git/vercel-for-gitlab), and [Bitbucket](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/git/vercel-for-bitbucket) to enable CI/CD for your Jekyll site with zero configuration. Then, you can run [automated tests for performance and reliability](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/checks) on every push. Pull and merge requests are deployed instantly to a unique URL, accessible to your entire team. ## Add your custom domain After deploying, your new Jekyll site will get automatically assigned a `.vercel.app` suffixed domain. You can then add a [Custom Domain](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/custom-domains) on your choice, either from a third-party or [purchased through Vercel](https://vercel.com/domains). ## Deploy Jekyll to Vercel ### Start from a template - [Jekyll](https://vercel.com/new/clone?s=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Fvercel%2Ftree%2Fmain%2Fexamples%2Fjekyll&template=jekyll&id=67753070&b=main&from=templates) ### Vercel CLI 1. Install the [Vercel CLI](https://vercel.com/cli) and run `vercel` to deploy. 2. Vercel will detect that you are using Jekyll and will enable the correct settings for your deployment. 3. Your site is deployed! (e.g. [jekyll-template.vercel.app](https://jekyll-template.vercel.app/)) ### Vercel for Git 1. Push your code to your git repository (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket). 2. [Import your Jekyll project](https://vercel.com/new) into Vercel. 3. Vercel will detect that you are using Jekyll and will enable the correct settings for your deployment. 4. Your site is deployed! (e.g. [jekyll-template.vercel.app](https://jekyll-template.vercel.app/)) ## Caveats Please note that recent `Bundler` versions (2.2.3+) started changing the way of deciding the installing platform. Therefore, please run the following command locally in your project repository once, and commit the resulting `Gemfile.lock` file to be able to deploy your project on Vercel: ```bash bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux ``` This is important especially if you're developing your app on different platforms (e.g., macOS, Windows, etc) as Vercel's build environment uses Linux. ## Related Documentation - [Domains](/docs/domains) - [Vercel CLI](https://vercel.com/docs/cli) ## More Domains guides - [Troubleshooting Cross-Origin Errors (net::ERR\_BLOCKED\_BY\_ORB) with Deployment Protection](/kb/guide/troubleshooting-cross-origin-errors-neterr-blocked-by-orb-with-deployment-protection): Learn to resolve \`net::ERR\_BLOCKED\_BY\_ORB\` errors on protected Vercel deployments.
