Setting Up Jekyll on Windows 10

tdarb.org

Sure, if you want to use WSL, go for it.

But you don't have to. RubyInstaller.org works great, their devkit (included with the installer) makes building C source gems automatic and painless, and I've used Jekyll many times this way, including gazillions of gems.

It is incredible how I never came across this while setting up my environment. I might have been too specific with my searches based off Jekyll itself. Thanks for sharing this though - down the rabbit hole I go!
