Jekyll Tailwind Starter

Welcome! Here you'll find a reasonable starter pack for using Jekyll with Tailwind CSS, Autoprefixer, and Purgecss.

About

This project uses jekyll-postcss to manage compiling your Tailwind and Autoprefixer styles. You can use any PostCSS plugin by installing it with yarn or npm and adding it to your postcss.config.js.

jekyll-purgecss is used to integrate Purgecss (only in production).
