Octopress
Ruby gem that adds a command-line toolkit for writing and deploying Jekyll blogs.
Octopress is a Ruby gem that adds a command-line toolkit to Jekyll for writing and deploying blogs. It creates posts, pages and drafts from templates, and Jekyll does the build. The README says its templates can use Liquid tags and filters from the site’s plugins, and its deploy command publishes the built site by rsync, to Amazon S3 or to a Git host such as GitHub Pages.
Worth knowing
The documentation on octopress.org dates from 2011 and describes the earlier Git-based setup, so its install steps do not match the gem. The GitHub repository has no release objects, only tags.
