This is the first “post” on this website. I am building it using Jekyll. So far installing and running the gh-pages gem makes it easy to build and test this. Just run the following commands in your repo.

jekyll new .
jekyll serve

The second line launches a web server and auto-generates your site when a file is updated.

Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets with support for syntax highlighting (the following is python):

import os
print("hello world")

Check out the Jekyll docs for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll. File all bugs/feature requests at Jekyll’s GitHub repo. If you have questions, you can ask them on Jekyll’s dedicated Help repository.
