Include serving of jekyll based sites #3

Github pages has ability to generate and serve jekyll based sites and markdown as html. It would be nice to have that feature incorporated

Thanks for raising this. I've added a note to the Readme to mention that support for building Jekyll-based sites is currently not supported, and refer to Setting up your GitHub Pages site locally with Jekyll for instructions on building Jekyll-based sites.

I'll be honest that I'm not sure if I'll add support for this - installing Jekyll will likely always be the best way to test Jekyll-based sites locally. This tool is a handy way to test static HTML sites without installing Ruby and Bundler. Adding support for building Jekyll-based sites would likely involve depending on both of those anyway, and at that point you might as well just use Jekyll directly.
