$ sudo gem install jekyll

$ jekyll
-bash: jekyll: command not found

gem environment ( - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0 )

$ cd /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/

I have rbenv installed and the step I missed was to do an rbenv rehash after gem install jekyll. The rehash creates a link in ~/.rbenv/shims which is in included in $PATH.
