What is Jekyll?
Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host your project’s page or blog right from GitHub.

Said about Jekyll as an alternative
Unlike some listed alternatives, Jekyll is also a static site generator so it lays in the same category. It uses Ruby (while Hugo uses Go) and I'd say it's simpler than Hugo (simpler in functionality and simpler to understand).

You can use github pages to serve up static HTML, CSS, and JS
There's a number of static blog site generators like
Jekyll is the only one directly supported by github for regenerating content with ruby / gem packages, which is done server-side. Everything else (Hugo, Hexo) you have to install your own dependecies locally and serve up the HTML / CSS /JS into github pages yourself
So it makes for a very lightweight and potentially feature-rich blog page all run through github, and very easy to use without much work once everythings setup
Strongly suggest you use
