Sample grunt-jekyll grunt.js

1. Use the following folder structure

[root]
    |-- templates/
        |-- index.html (Jekyll templates)
    |-- prod/
    |-- dev/
    |-- _config.yml (optional)

1. Add the grunt.js file below at the root of your project.

2. Install the grunt-jekyll gruntmodule next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-jekyll.

3. Run the grunt jekyll commands:

• grunt jekyll or grunt jekyll:server to start a server that watches the templates directory.

• grunt jekyll:dev to process files to the dev directory.

• grunt jekyll:prod to process files to the prod directory.

Of course, everything here is fully configurable to your liking.

grunt.js

// Sample grunt-jekyll grunt.js file
// https://github.com/dannygarcia/grunt-jekyll

/*global module:false*/
module.exports = function(grunt) {

	// Project configuration.
	grunt.initConfig({

		jekyll: {
			server : {
				src : 'templates',
				dest: 'dev',
				server : true,
				server_port : 8000,
				auto : true
			},
			dev: {
				src: 'templates',
				dest: 'dev'
			},
			prod: {
				src: 'templates',
				dest: 'prod'
			}
		},

		watch: { // for development run 'grunt watch'
			jekyll: {
				files: ['templates/*.html'],
				tasks: ['jekyll:dev']
			}
		}
	});

	// Default task. Run standard jekyll server.
	grunt.registerTask('default', 'jekyll:server');

	// plugin tasks
	grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jekyll');
};

I was unable to run a server with Jekyll 2.4.0 and plugin version 0.4.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. After looking at the source code of the Grunt task I got that it must be serve option instead of server.

server: {
    options: {
        serve: true,
        port: 8000,
        auto: true
    }
}
