What Is Jekyll VitePress Theme?

Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby. It turns Markdown, Liquid templates, and data files into static HTML that you can deploy almost anywhere.

Jekyll powers many documentation sites and blogs, especially in Ruby ecosystems and GitHub Pages workflows.

What this theme is

Jekyll VitePress Theme is a Jekyll theme + plugin gem that recreates the VitePress documentation experience:

• top navigation + mobile nav screen
• left sidebar and right “On this page” outline
• copy buttons and language labels for code blocks
• home layout with hero + feature cards
• doc footer with edit link, pager, and last updated timestamp

Why this exists

VitePress has excellent docs UX, but it depends on a Node/Vite toolchain. This project brings the same visual and interaction model to Jekyll, keeping configuration and authoring idiomatic to Ruby/Jekyll projects.
