Question

When I run jekyll to generate my site, it regenerates every page. How do I tell it to generate only pages which are new or have changed?

Alternatly, what am I doing to make Jekyll think it need to recreate every page?

Answer 1

Jekyll automatically regenerates the entire site each time it runs — that’s just how it works. However, I believe it will only regenerate changed files if you pass the flag:

--watch

as in:

jekyll build --watch

Note: Instead of jekyll build --watch, older versions of jekyll use jekyll --auto.
