With this change, you can still use setpath.cmd to open a command prompt and enter Jekyll commands, like before.
Plus, you can now pass a command which will be executed.
This is useful to create batch files which you can simply double-click to execute something via Portable Jekyll:
1. Building your project with the Jekyll version from Portable Jekyll
Create a batch file in your project's folder with the following content:
Executing this batch file will use the Portable Jekyll version in the specified path to build/serve your project.
I often use batch files to run Jekyll when I need to supply additional configuration settings and I'm too lazy to type jekyll serve --foo bar --baz xyz by hand each time.
2. Executing a Ruby script using the Ruby version from Portable Jekyll
A batch file with this content will terminate after execution (cmd /k won't), so I can call it from another batch file.
(my use case: I have an existing batch file backing up stuff from my machine, and I needed to run wunderlist-backup from it, so my Wunderlist data is included in the backup)
