Install Jekyll on WSL
Introduction:
Jekyll is a popular static site generator that allows you to create and manage websites using plain text files. If you’re using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can leverage the power of Jekyll right on your Windows machine. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up Jekyll on WSL, from installation to serving your first Jekyll site.
