If you do decide to use this, however, what you'll find is a base Jekyll project which has a few base packages built in. The most prominent package included is the wonderful jekyll-assets, which acts very similar to the Rails asset pipeline.
I plan to keep this up to date with the latest Bootstrap 3, and jQuery 2.2.
I'm not sure if I'll plan to fork this repo, or just download the zip file and go from there.
