Introducing Jekyll-hook : Run your own #GitHub Pages | Development Seed

For those cases where we need the simplicity of GitHub Pages’ workflow but have to host on our own infrastructure, we built Jekyll-hook. It’s an extensible server that builds #Jekyll sites on each commit to a GitHub repository, just like GitHub Pages. It provides a ton of additional flexibility, while preserving the benefits of static site generation, like needing no server-side processing to serve webpages.
Jekyll-hook is a Node.js server that receives web hook requests from GitHub.com, or a GitHub Enterprise server, generates a Jekyll site, and publishes it. The generation and publication processes are configurable with simple bash scripts.
