About JI:

Jekyll Init(JI) is a initial setup for Jekyll.
I just don't have a time to create Jekyll blogs from scratch every time.

I will create 3 branchs: master is for regular blogs, prototype is for prototyping and experiment is, well, for experiments.

I will try to make this as minimum as possible.

Dependencies:

Jekyll

Obviously. Jekyll
And whatever Jekyll is depended on. I like to use kramdown since I can apply classes to elements
