ruby jekyll

I'm getting started with Jekyll static site generator and I would like to use Live Reload with it. I know Jekyll has a generator and server commands, and Live Reload can run various compilers and custom commands. How do I configure these to work together?

LiveReload is built into Jekyll 3.7+.

jekyll serve --livereload

You can also set LiveReload's port, delay, and ignored files. See jekyll help serve.
