heroku-jekyll-buildpack

This buildpack compiles your Jekyll site when you push it to Heroku. Use it with rack-jekyll to serve your Jekyll application from Heroku without having to wait for the _site directory to be build each time the application boots.

Usage

This buildpack works best with heroku-buildpack-multi so that it can be used with your app's existing buildpacks.
