A starter kit for using Tailwind with Jekyll that includes:

• A barebones Jekyll starter theme

• A Gulpfile that does the following:

  • Compiles Tailwind
  • Strips out unused CSS using Tailwind's purge option
  • Runs Autoprefixer
  • Minifies your CSS
  • Compiles Jekyll
  • Runs Browsersync for local development

"Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces." –Tailwind

"Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server. Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host sites right from your GitHub repositories." –Jekyll
