<rant> Ugh I'm tired of having to fix my blog every few months because Gem/Bundler/Ruby broke things again for that specific Jekyll version I use. Honestly the dependency hell in that stack is as bad as NPM. I think I'm gonna move to Hugo, hopefully Go's stability infected Hugo.

@sirdimples it was a difficult step but I left Jekyll behind: https://bitbra.in/blog/goodbye-jekyll/
Goodbye, Jekyll.

@bitbraindev you've put about 10x more effort into Jekyll than I have 😅 honestly for a staticgen it's overkill to have all these layers of complexity

I think I setup a container with the exact versions that github jekyll wants a few years ago out of frustration but I don't have access to that machine now

@sirdimples this is my newest setup: https://github.com/bitbrain/bitbrain.github.io

it's basically still hosted on Github via github pages (with custom domain) but I use the shalzz/zola-deploy-action to build the static files and push them into gh-pages branch. Very straight-forward now.

No more Ruby, zero dependencies!

@bitbraindev I looked at zola, it's nice! thanks for the source!

I went with Hugo, and you were right, it's not good for dev blogs, but I found a theme that tames it a little and makes it usable [Poison](https://github.com/lukeorth/poison)
