Build

jekyll build builds the site and outputs the result to _site

jekyll serve does the same thing, and additionally rebuilds upon any change, serving the site locally (typically on port 4000)

Deployment

This application uses the following plugins, which are not supported by GitHub Pages:

• jekyll-paginate-v2

For this reason, simply updating and pushing the pre-compiled code will correctly update the site. GitHub Pages builds the application, and the features provided by unsupported plugins won't be available. Therefore, a hook has been defined in .git/hooks/pre-push, as documented by Nicu Surdu. This builds the application and places the result in the gh-pages branch. The repository is configured to deploy this branch.
