lakruzz/jekyll-plus

The image is designed to behave like GitHub Pages, it utilizes the latest version of the Ruby gem "github-pages" which is maintained by GitHub. But it also includes some nice tools and utilities that aren't necessarily supported by GitHub pages, which runs in safe mode, with only a limited support for plugins.

The source is available at GitHub from lakruzz/jekyll-plus
