dcr-jekyll

Uses Docker Compose to run Jekyll.

This saves us having to install Jekyll locally.

For an explanation of the thinking behind this module see the blog post Disposable Laptops With Docker Compose And NPM.

The Docker image used is jekyll/jekyll and is described here.

To install, do:

npm install -g dcr-jekyll

Then run a command with:

$ dcr-jekyll --help
